To coincide with National Microchipping Month in June this year, Avid will update the details of any pet with an Avid microchip registered on the UK 24hr PETtrac microchip database free of charge, saving their owner £6 for a change of address and £12 for a change of ownership.

In addition, anyone who contacts the company via its website during June will also be entered into a prize draw to win one year's worth of free pet insurance.

To update registration details free of charge, visit www.petchipupdate.com (the update service activates in June), or call 0800 652 8977.

Any microchipper who would like a Pet Chip Update Campaign pack can send a request via www.petchipupdate.com or call the AVID MicroChip sales line on 0800 652 7 977.
