Microchip Scanner

Works well

I bought this to scan chips that I purchased on Amazon. It worked the first time I scanned them but after a few months it won’t find the chips in the cats. It will still read the chips that are not inserted and it will read chips from another manufacturer so I believe the fault is in the chip, not the reader. I scanned my cat and dog that were chipped at another place and it read it just fine. This scanner seems to be working correctly.

I do dog rescue, so it's important to have a reader that is functional and reliable. This reader is the worst and if I could give it ZERO that would still be too many stars. If agencies or people use this chip reader pets are sadly going to remain lost. If the reader cannot identify that a pet is chipped then finding their home is greatly reduced. Even worse an animal may be chipped and if the reader doesn't read a chip the pet could end up being euthanized rather than being returned home. I have 5 dogs and all are chipped with three different brands of chips (home again, 911 and Fi nano). I tested this reader immediately upon arrival and after being fully charged. The reader was able to produce the chip id code in 3 of my dogs ONCE, then when I tried again it could never find the chip on 2 of the 3 dogs it had previously identified. I know it can read the three different brands of chips, because they all appeared at least once out of more than 20 tries, but non of them were ever detected more than twice with more than 20+ attempts. I then tested the reader on the new chips i have that have not yet been injected on pets and the reader identified 2 chip out of the 23 new chips I tried to scan. I tried to scan my dogs more than 20 times and the success rate of this chip reader in locating a chip in both live dogs and un injected new chips averages about 2 times in 20 tries. This unit is terrible! Buyer beware, it's a cheap mass produced China product, complete junk. The instructions are also in poorly written English and Chinese.

Convenient, fast, and easy to carry - a must-have for pet owners, especially when pets need to fly

I work apt maintenance. We find dogs wandering all the time and I’ve always wished I had a chip scanner to avoid having to call animal control. So I got this. Works flawless. Search the number at any free online database.

Works well except it doesn’t turn off if I hold down the button. Scans well though (tested on my on cat)

They are small and easy to carry in a pocket, and they do the intended job.

TLDR: Reuniting someone with their lost pet is a great feeling even on the worst day. This was worth every penny. This was an impulse buy July of last year. I had no reason to buy it at the time, I just thought it would be a good thing to have for an emergency. The last week or 2, a random small cat started hanging around my house. I live in a busy city where people are not always friendly to stray cats, so I was nervous for its safety. It seemed so scared but not feral. It ate food I left for it, and tonight it started to rain so I reached out to pet and was surprised it let me pick him up. I brought him inside to feed and remembered I impulse-bought this scanner. I had his chip number within seconds, reported him as found on 24PetWatch. His owner called, gave me a description (better safe than sorry) and picked him up within 15 minutes of the confirmation email. To be able to accomplish all that within an hour from my own living room was a luxury.

Bei unseren zwei Katzen findet das Gerät den Chip sofort und zeigt die korrekte Nummer an. Mich würde noch interessieren, ob man den Pfeifton ausschalten kann. Er ist zwar nicht so laut wie befürchtet und unsere beiden hat er nicht erschreckt, aber ich weiß nicht, wie es bei fremden Katzen wäre. Der in der Praxis pfeift nicht, also müsste es irgendwie gehen. Ich werde berichten. Wir haben es gekauft, weil uns in einigen Jahren schon mehrere Katzen zugelaufen sind, die wir den Besitzern zuführen konnten. Wir haben uns meist dafür so ein gerät aus unserer Tierarztpraxis geliehen, aber seit wir erfuhren, dass es um die 20 € kostet und nicht 200, habe ich sofort das gleiche bestellt, was die Praxis hat. Seit die Katzen keine Halsbänder mehr tragen, damit sie nirgends stecken bleiben, ist aber oft nicht klar, ob sie Freigänger sind, oder von zu Hause ausgebüchst sind und nicht mehr nach Hause finden. Liebe Dosenöffner: bitte chippt Euer Tier immer, auch wenn es nur bei Euch in der Wohnung leben soll. Es kommt öfter vor, dass Drinnen-Katzen aus Neugierde durch ein Fenster oder eine Tür unbemerkt fliehen und dann von selbst nicht mehr nach Hause finden. Vergesst den Chip nicht zu registrieren. Wir hatten schon beides: Tiere ohne Chip und auch welche, die einen Chip hatten, der aber nicht registriert war. Da hat es dann teils Wochen gedauert, bis die Besitzer aufgefunden werden konnten und das muss einfach nicht sein. Bei anderen hat man die Besitzer nie finden können, aber man kann bei einer reinrassigen Katze, die aussieht, als hätte sie kurz zuvor bei einem Schönheitswettbewerb mitgemacht sicher davon ausgehen, dass es keine Straßenkatze ist. Nicht gechippt, nicht registriert, dafür aber ausgehungert, weil sie nie gelernt hat zu jagen. Für sie hat dann das Tierheim in der Nähe neue Dosenöffner gesucht. Bitte chippt und registriert Eure Katzen!

Contente pas déçu

Great microchip scanner works great I’ve used it on cats and dogs charged with a cable which I think is better than using batteries finds chip first time nice and light weight and small just press to turn on and off u go

Ce lecteur fonctionne très bien. Testé sur plusieurs animaux, chiens, chats, … c’est ok. Permet de communiquer plus facilement le numéro au vétérinaire pour connaître les propriétaires.

Molto veloce nel leggere il chip e semplicissimo da usare.
