Q. How can I get free microchips?
A. You can get free microchips by building up credits in your account. You will need to buy your first box of microchips but will receive a starter credit when you register.

When you register a microchip on Microchip Central, and the registered animal has been transferred to the new keeper on a paid registration, you will receive a credit for the cost of the microchip in your account. Free transfers are not eligible for the scheme. E.g. If you microchip a litter of puppies and register them to the breeder, when they are transferred onto the new keepers you will see the credit automatically added to your account.

Credits are valid for 6 months and are automatically deducted from your next order.

Q. How can I fix an error I have made when registering an account?
A. If you are a vet or implanter and have made an error on an account you have created, or pet you have added, you have 3 days to make any changes. Click 'Search Microchips' within your account. Search the account holders name, email, or pet's microchip number and click on it to edit the information. After 3 days you will need to contact Microchip Central. Note: you cannot update a microchip number or implant date.

If you have made an error on your own account, go to 'My Profile and Settings' then 'Edit My Profile' to make changes.
