Pet Microchip Scanner, 15 Digit Pet Chip Scanner, Rechargeable(190A)

Had a stray cat that had been coming around for years and finally decided to check and see if he was chipped. I didn’t want to try to trap him to take him somewhere and so bought this. It worked great! I will say that whatever cat is scanned does need to be fairly comfortable with you. It does scan quickly but I can imagine it would be harder with a cat that is more skittish. This stray has been coming around for a few years so we’ve slowly built trust with him. Honestly, great price even if I only use it once 😅 I also scanned my indoor cats just to double check and it worked for them too. I was able to find out that the outdoor stray had been adopted at one point but must have been abandoned as the local animal control said he was a TNR. Gonna keep this for the future in case any other kitties come around ❤️

I live in a rural area where we get a lot of visitor cats that never have collars or tags, so it's hard to discern whether they're strays or just outdoor cats. We also see a lot of dogs just roaming the neighborhood and surrounding area that also typically don't have collars or tags. The closest veterinary office is a 20-30 minute drive, so bringing an animal in to check for a microchip would be a process. I figured I would give this thing a shot because it would be nice to have a scanner on hand to at least check if an animal is microchipped. Operation is one button, and the scanner picks up chips instantly as soon as one is near. I tested it on my own animals and it was very easy to find their microchips. You do need to be quite close but that's typically how these scanners work. I couldn't quite figure out the software though. It just seemed to give me the option of changing settings rather than being able to view the tag numbers I had already scanned. Overall, if you care about stray animals and want an option to be able to check if an animal is chipped, this is a great option for keeping in your car or in a handbag as it is very small and lightweight, and it works very well.

Sadly a lot of stray cats end up at our door and I was looking for something to scan them quickly instead of trying to catch / trap / transport them to a local vet for microchip checks each time. This is a small device (smaller than an iPhone in the photo for reference) and came fully charged / ready to go. It does include a cable. Basically you press the center blue button & it is on / ready to scan. Next you wave it around slowly behind the pets head, near the shoulder blades and in that general area until the reader either pops up a chip number or reads "no tag". It does make noise (beeps) when turning on and then again when a chip is or is not found. The noise may scare some animals. I recommend getting the animals used to the sound & being touched first if at all possible as you do need to get close. You do not need to use the upload data feature or create an account to use this, but be prepared to have just a very short while to take a photo of the number that pops up (I doubt you'd have time to write it down). I did test this on our cats to ensure it was working (they all have the 15 digit microchip number, so I cannot confirm if it works or not for other chip types as the most recent stray came up "no chip" after multiple tests). The scanner accurately read our pets' microchip numbers quickly. It is light weight, and seemingly good quality. Once you have the chip number you can do a reverse lookup to find which microchip company issued that number (e.g. via the website aaha.org microchip registry lookup), then contact that specific microchip company (e.g. 24Petwach, HomeAgain, etc..) to see if it is registered to an owner & try to contact the owner. Other than the noise and the short amount of time you have to view the chip number, this is a great handy gadget and is a very good price.

Bought this because we have a black lab that we take to daycare when we travel. Black labs look A LOT alike. We have taken him to out of town daycares a few times and, more than once, they have brought out another black lab at pickup. I'd like to think I know my dog, but in the hurry of busy doggy daycare pickup, things can happen. I got this for two reasons. First, to scan his chip at daycare pickup. Second, to scan loose dogs that seem to be a common thing in our neighborhood. For this price point, it's a great product. When I tried it, it was easy to scan and brought up our dogs chip number accurately. A simple Google search or two will get you the info you need to find the owner info. I plan to keep this in my car for when I find a loose pup to see if there is a chip. If you're one of those people (like me) that always pulls over for lost looking dogs, this is a great tool to have.

A lost cat was at our house and was reluctant to leave - it didn't seem to know which way his home was. We ordered the scanner, which arrived in less than 24 hours. We scanned the cat and got the chip number and entered it at AAHA.ORG. That website scans all pet registries and tells you where the chip is registered. It pointed us to 24Petwatch and we found the owner. We had the cat back in its owner's possession within 30 minutes. Apparently, a bad neighbor took their cat and left it miles away from home near our house. The poor cat probably never would have found its way home. Great product!

Seems like a good scanner. Quickly and accurately found the microchips I presented to it and is rechargeable. It does connect to your computer but I have not tried that functionality. Overall it's a good value for money.

Was able to scan out dog and got able to find her microchip number (the number is blacked out in the picture). It did not work with our cats, but they were chipped over 10 years ago and the product description did indicate that it doesn't work with all chips. I was able to lookup up our dog's microchip number on Aaha.org and found the microchip company it was last registered to so that we could update our dog's info. Glad I got it.

​⭐️☆☆☆☆ Does Not Read Chips: A Paperweight in an Emergency ​I bought this scanner to have peace of mind for my pets, but it has been a total disappointment. Despite being listed as "Amazon's Choice" and claiming to support both 134.2kHz and 125kHz frequencies, it consistently fails to detect or read actual microchips. ​The Main Issues: ​Total Failure to Read: I tested this on my own pets (who I know are chipped and have had their chips verified by a vet), and the scanner repeatedly showed "No Tag" or simply stayed in scanning mode until it timed out. ​Poor Sensitivity: Unlike professional vet scanners, the antenna in this unit is very weak. Unless you are touching the exact millimeter where the chip is located (and the chip hasn't migrated at all), it won't pick up a signal. ​Incompatibility: While it claims to be "universal," it seems to struggle significantly with common 15-digit ISO chips and 9-digit AVID chips. ​Pros: ​It is rechargeable and the screen is bright. ​Cons: ​Unreliable: You cannot trust this device to identify a lost pet or verify your own pet's chip. ​False Sense of Security: If I had found a lost dog with this scanner, I would have assumed it wasn't chipped, which is a dangerous mistake. ​Verdict: Do not rely on this for animal safety. It is better to spend more on a high-quality universal scanner or simply take a pet to a local vet or shelter where they use professional-grade equipment that actually works. Returning this immediately.

Es genial. Buena relación calidad-precio. Lee chips de caballos, perros…

Works perfectly

We had a stray cat that showed up and I was concerned someone was missing it. So I purchased this scanner after reading the reviews. It worked out perfectly. I turned it on, waved it about 2 inches in a circular motion over the shoulder blades and it read a chip. From there I made a call to our local humane society with the chip number I received from the scanner, and from there the sequence of events following that cat was safely reunited with its owner. I had previously scanned my own pets, and it precisely recognized their chips. Note, it only provides you with the chip number, no owner contact information. This is handy to have, simple to use, and worked well for me.

la presentazione dell'oggetto è ingannevole: è molto più piccolo di quanto sembra, è come un telecomando. Inoltre la qualità generale è scarsa, è un giocattolino cinese, il display è ridicolmente piccolo e leggere le cifre senza occhiali è quasi impossibile. Non si collega via Bluetooth (contrariamente a quanto affermato) e legge solo la maggior parte dei chip, ma non tutti. Sta in una tasca, ma se prende acqua (es. se viene usato sotto la pioggia) potete buttarlo via. Funziona, sì, ma solo in parte e non fa tutto quello che dovrebbe e non ha affatto l'aria di una cosa fatta per durare. Dato il prezzo equivalente a 2 spritz, si può dire che vale (quasi) quel che costa. In sintesi: - se vi serve una specie di giocattolo per divertirvi a leggere i chip dei vostri amici a 4 zampe, avete speso il giusto e potete senz'altro togliervi lo sfizio, badando bene a non farlo cadere per terra e a non fargli prendere acqua. - se vi occorre qualcosa di serio, affidabile, funzionale, perché siete dei professionisti o avete esigenze simili, lasciate stare Amazon e orientatevi su qualcosa di molto diverso, anche se più costoso. Spero di esservi stato utile!
