Halo Microchip Scanner Black,135mm Durchmesser X 33mm

This scanner LITERALLY saved our entire move. I am SO RELIEVED right now.I am moving to the UK on a shoestring budget in just a couple of weeks, but one of my cats has an AVID chip not the standard ISO compliant chip. AVID chips are allowed, you just have to bring your own scanner to scan them. I could have gotten her implanted with a second, ISO compliant chip yesterday at her rabies shot appointment, but she's old and I didn't want to put her through that. So I did a quick look to see how affordable scanners were, saw a bunch in the $25-50 range, and told the vet not to worry about the chip and to just take care of her rabies shot (which must happen AFTER implanting, meaning now that she's had the shot, I CAN'T get her a second chip in time for our move )What I didn't realize at that time was that the more affordable scanners I was seeing don't scan AVID chips, and I can't afford the AVID-specific ones. So I spent the evening stressing and worrying I had just ruined our entire overseas move plan.....until I found THIS scanner.The scanner is not specifically labeled as AVID compliant (it says it will pick them up, but not show the number, which won't work for travel), but it does say it will display standard 10-digit chip numbers. So I figured, let's gamble on it and pick it up. I can always return it if it isn't what I need.And ....it worked PERFECTLY!! It picked up Harley's AVID chip with no problem, and displayed the number exactly the way I needed it to. Crisis averted! UK, here we come! :)

Purchased this product back in February to see if my horse was microchipped. It did pick her microchip number however it must’ve never been registered because I couldn’t find it with any company. Had no issues reading her number. I walked up to her and placed the scanner in the area it could be in and it immediately picked it up.A little shocked to see the price decrease significantly in just 3 months.

Works quickly and is easy to use with both new and older scanning of pet chip codes. I also gifted one to our town officials, enabling them to greatly expedite reuniting found pets with their families, belonging locally or out of town.

I use the mini microchips on my pets and in the past my vets scanner had a hard time reading them. I didn't know if it was an issue with the microchips or the scanner being used. I bought this to be sure and it picked up the microchips fast! I wasn't even very close to them, maybe a foot away. It beeped quickly. It also charges nicely. I'm very pleased with this purchase. Definitely recommend it. It can come in handy if I find a lost pet, too.

Very impressed...worked on all my pets...found an old chip from nine year old cat...also found chip that traveled half way down my aussies back...going to use for my feral and stray cat care...

July 27, 2024. I have 5 dogs and all are chipped. This scanner read all but one of my dog's chip. I know for a fact she is chipped because she is from the National Yorkie Rescue group and her foster mom was present when the chip was inserted last August, 2023. Plus I have all the chip related paper work. Even if an older chip was possibly inserted, the scanner should at least indicate the presences of a microchip. So this is disappointing. Also I contacted the seller on the day I got it (July 17, 2024) to address the issue, but they have not gotten back to me.

Great product makes it real easy to locate a lost dog love the chip reader

Perfect. As advertised, easy to use and great value. This is the best scanner to have if you're in animal rescue.
