For full details on the electronic MicroChip registration please visit www.avidplc.com/implanters/avid-microchip-login.asp

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 : Do not let postal strikes delay MicroChip registrations
The current delays caused by postal strikes will inevitably have an impact on how quickly PETtrac, the 24hr MicroChip Database, receives MicroChip registration forms.
To beat the delay and guarantee immediate registration, why not do it electronically?
As a veterinary practice, rescue centre, dog warden or other implanter of AVID MicroChips you may register the AVID MicroChip details electronically either via the website at www.avidplc.com or directly using certain client management systems - for more details click here and visit the 2 pages titled VET & IMPLANTER LOGIN and INTELLIGENT REGISTRATION.
For additional information or to talk to a member of the AVID team about MicroChips or the simple to use registration services, please call 0800 652 7 977.
Tue, 06 Oct 2009 : AVID Joins Vet-XML Consortium
AVID is now a member of the Vet-XML Consortium, and is helping to define the schema which will be used for electronic MicroChip registrations in an xml data format.
AVID already offers direct electronic registration in to the PETtrac MicroChip Database via the website, www.avidplc.com, and through some software packages.
Through the use of xml, which is a commonly defined standard, it will enable more software companies to implement direct MicroChip registration for AVID MicroChips more easily. This is being made simpler through the use of VetEnvoy.
For more details on how these electronic MicroChip registration services could benefit your veterinary practice or organisation please see the Intelligent Registration section on this website, or contact AVID on 0800 652 7 977.
Tue, 01 Sep 2009 : Electronic Re-Registration of AVID MicroChips
AVID is pleased to announce that the re-registration of AVID MicroChips, registered with the PETtrac 24hr Database, is available to rescue centres / shelters who are using the Anilog software package.
Through the use of electronic signature pads, Anilog is able to capture the signature of the new owner/keeper, which means that all the necessary information for completing the change of details is immediately sent to the 24hr PETtrac Database.
For further information please visit www.anilog.co.uk or contact AVID on 0800 652 7 977.
AVID provides pet MicroChips and MicroChip scanners to rescue centres, vets, dog wardens and other trained MicroChip implanters with a complete and wide-range of services.
Fri, 19 Jun 2009 : Another First For AVID - Integrated MicroChip Registrations Start Rolling In!
AVID has completed another first! AVID has started registering MicroChips directly from client management software into the PETtrac Database!
This ground breaking link means that registering an AVID MicroChip has just become even easier. Of course the easy-to-use AVID website with integrated postcode software is quick, simple and guaranteed, but this takes it to a new level.
As part of your day-to-day business you enter the keeper's details into your client management software, so why re-enter them? This new system developed by AVID sends that information directly to the PETtrac Database - done!
Just think of how much time it could save you every day - if you would like more information, simply give AVID a call on 0800 652 7 977 and we can explain more about how it works.
AVID is very keen to work with any shelter/clinic management software companies to open this up to more users, so if you'd like your software provider to implement this feature let them know, and give them our details.
