 Topic: registering a dog with FidoPosted: 25 January 2010 at 7:57pm |
|
All my four dogs are microchipped. Three are registered with Animark and one with Anibase. I have mislaid by vet cards and chip details for my oldest two and have sent Animark an email re same and requesting that they alter my telphone number. I have the chip numbers for the other two and I want to register them with Fido as well. When I go onto the site Im requested to put in the chip number and a six character registration code. For one I only have the chip number for one dog. So I cant register this dog as I dont have registration code. The other dog I have the chip number and the vet code. But Fido wont accept this either registration. It says either the info is already in use or the incorrect.
Question where do I get a six character registration code, is it the same as the vet code ? Any other suggestions?
Btw - Im supposed to get a confirmation of registration from Anibase but Im waiting about two months now. I have sent an email to them about it as I couldnt get a telephone number. Anyone any experience of this?

Did you ever get this sorted? Im having much the same problem. When we got charlie from the shelter they told us to go onto fido.ie to change his owner, didn't get round to it at the time but lately i have been meaning to do it. I have the 15 digit chip ID but I don't have a transfer ID or a re-registeration code. When I enter just his chip ID into the 'receive a pet from another fido user' option but leave the transfer ID blank I get this message: The transfer was successful. Congratulations you are now the registered owner of your new pet. You can check the details via the Fido menu.
Does this mean it has worked, even without the transfer ID? Is there any way to view what dogs are registered to me on the site, im going to the fido menu but there is no option to check what pets are registered to me? The site is so confusing. He's going to the vets tomorrow, can you just ask them to scan him and check who he's actually registered to if anybody? I wasn't as much of an issue up to a few months ago because as far as I was aware he was registered to the shelter, so if he went missing and he was scanned and traced back to the shelter I was still in regular contact with them, so they would let me know, but its temporarily closed down for the past while now so it would be a dead end if he was found.

No Dee i didnt get sorted. Got sweet f all back from my emails and to be honest got tied up with other stuff so have to chase it up again (thanks for the reminder). My vet told me that all the databases owners were soon going to have access to each others info so it wouldnt matter which database you were registered with - but I dont know when it is going to happen. I did have Sky in with the vet since and got him to check the chip and it scanned but I dont know if he could read who it was registered to.
Dee why not go on the site and again and key in Charlies chip Id and see what comes up? Failing that just ask the vet - its one thing that can be done for free!

I couldn't find anywhere to type in the chip ID to see who he's registered to? When I log into my page and click 'register my pet's microchip now' it asks for all the pets details, name, dob etc, the microchip number and a six digit registration code which I don't have so cannot register him. So according to the site the microchip is registered to me (dunno how because it let me do it without a transfer ID?) but it contains no details about the dog.
I can understand now how dogs are regularly found microchipped but with no details registered so the microchip is useless! I think il just ask my vet to scan him tomorrow and if she can check the database to see if he is actually registered to anyone? He was in another home down clare direction shortly before we got him so it'l be an awful mess if she registered him too! Would a vet be able to give us a registeration code?

Well I was at the vets yesterday and asked her to scan him and check the database, she did scan him and the number came up but as far as she was aware this particular shelter don't register the dogs that this was up to the owner to do, so all along he wasn't registered to anybody.
I asked her about which company to register him with and she mentioned link-up and alliance (pronounced Allianz but spelt alliance), I have looked into link-up but can't find any info about alliance on the net, im wondering did she get alliance mixed up with the insurance group allianz?
I sent an email off to fido basically explaining what I said above and they have sent me back a registration form which seems straightforward enough and doesn't ask for any registration codes just the microchip number, all iv to do is fill it out and send it back along with €15, I can't understand why they cannot just provide this form on the website, it would have been a lot easier and would have saved me a lot of time.
I have heard a lot about different databases not being linked up and stories about chips being scanned but the wrong database being checked so the dog is never re-united. Seems like a dream to me that I also read recently that they are trying to link them all up, but cannot even remember where I read it or if even it was ireland they were on about? Can the mircochip be registered with a few companies or would I be wasting my time doing it, as I have a form here for link-up that I could send off as well as fido?
EDA: Is it just the 15 digit chip number that you have lost for some of your dogs Bartlett? If you can get your hands on a scanner to scan them with then thats the number that comes up on the little screen. Edited by dee o gee - 09 April 2010 at 4:22pm |

Hi Dee,
Glad you are getting sorted. I think I will do the registeration with Fido that way as well. I have lost their vax cards which had their micro chip details with it. I know they are in the house somewhere but exactly where is the problem1 As you say if I bring the dogs to the vet they could scan them and give me the number. The vet told me re the linking of the databases as well hope its coming soon.

Hi
Your six diget number is on the left hand top side of your registration card given to you from your vet on the day you had the microchip inserted into your pet. if you dont have the card ask your vet for it. hope i have been of some help to you.

Err ... ALL the microchip numbers are 15 (fifteen) digit numbers? What's with the six digits?

Its the registration number for that chip, when you get the dog chipped you should get a card with a little 6 digit sticker on it, thats what you need. If they didn't do it that way, anybody could find a dog, scan it, get the chip number and change the registration details, you only get the card and 6 digit registration number when the chip is first inserted, from your vet.

Staffyman, the card that the breeder gave you is meant to be filled out and returned to the microchip company with your details on it so they can keep it on their data base. Is the place where your dog was registered the place you are mentioning or did you just register with that place yourself?
Its just that if the breeder has registered your dog say with Fido, and you have registered with a different one, if the dog is found they might only check Fido and wont have your details, if you get me? So you should always send the info back to where the chip was originally registered first.

Staffyman one of mine was registered with Anibase but they were a nightmare to deal with, get in touch with anything so I've registered them with FIDO. Like that I didn't have the vet code so I emailed fido and they posted me out a form the next day, no need for the vet code then, just your details and €15.

hi all, i just rang the the crowd that my dog chip number is registered with, she told me my dog is linked to a data base called petnet.ie so i went onto that website and put in the micro chip number and it came up no results found, so i rang her back she said she was terribly sorry about this. but i told her my dog was registered with her data base since 2008. so it should have been done since then. she said as my number was an old number it was probably not updated, she told me the person who updates her website is in switerland at the moment and wont be back till tomorrow how convienent, she will have it sorted by the weekend. i said to her if my dog went missing and she was scanned that only her chip number comes up how will they know its my dog, she said that all her chip numbers begin with 972 as does mine so any vet or dog warden should know this is the prefix number for her link up base and they go onto that site and ring the number and she would give them my details. if its not up on the database by the weekend i will be ringing her first thing monday morning looking for answers,

To be honest staffyman I wouldn't take the risk for the sake of €15, better to go with FIDO. The reason I'm saying it as I said above my GR was registered with anibase, we couldn't get in touch with them to see if he was but the vet was able to check after I told her which company. They said they always check FIDO, worst case scenario they're registered with both.

im just back from my local vets now got my dog scanned, all that came up was her chip number nothing else. i can prove the dog is mine because her chip number is on her pedigree papers, and they are in my name. i told the vet that she is registered with link up animal recovery data base, the vet told me that once shes registered with them she cant be registered with another data base, e.g fido.ie |

i rang the vet where my dog was chipped they are linked with animal pet recovery data base, thats why all their chips start with the first 3 digits 972, this is the number is the prefix for animal recovery data base and when my dog is scanned by a vet or a dog warden they should know that the first 3 digits are associtated with that data base. but my dogs number is not coming up on their database, hopefully they should have it sorted by the weekend and if they dont i will be asking them to remove my dog from their data base

no problem LB i know where your coming from, but once that code has been used, far as i know this code would be unique to my dogs details and cant be used again with another dog, but you cant be too carefull, i have edited that post any way so hope everything will be ok. thanks again LB for pointing this out to me |
