"We use Pet Database to manage all of our microchip admin, and it's taken a huge amount of pressure off the process. The adoption area is a brilliant bonus, and being able to list our dogs in one place has helped us reach more potential adopters with far less effort."

"Although we have only been using Pet Database for around two weeks, we have already seen a significant increase in interest in our animals. In our case, we have received more than 20 enquiries, which has been fantastic."

"By working closely with Pet Database, we set up a campaign and raised so much more than we’ve ever been able to raise on a single plea. It gives us real hope for our future, especially as we’ve been so worried about having to close our doors to more dogs in need."
