Scanner Angel® A unique database of the microchips of lost or stolen animals which is downloaded to the HALO and updated every time the HALO is connected to a laptop or PC.

But don’t worry if you’re averse to such advanced technology, as this Sonew creation can also perform the basic stuff too, with computer compatibility thanks to a USB port and one of the best LED display screens available featuring battery life and sunlight readability.

All of our microchip registrations include Scanner Angel integration, which sends your pet’s microchip number to its network of scanners alerting the operator if your lost pet is found and scanned. The concern I have even about his microchip is I wasn’t told that after a year or two it expires when I brought my dog to have him neutered at the veterinarian he told me the cost and said if he was ever a loss that they would be able to know who the owner is but when I got home and read the flyer with it and registered it I noticed that it’s only good for a couple years it’s not like you can pay money to keep it activated which I wish I was told that because I would imagine they must have them, I don’t think people have the chip that stops working every couple years pulled out and pay for another one to be implanted that’s foolish, not to mention even if it is still working if someone finds the dog veterinarian is not going to scan it if they make an appointment and bring it in as their new pet that they claim to have bought or took in because “it belonged to their aunt who passed away” they adopted it whatever they want to say to the vet or if the vet asks during conversation.It also does no good if he’s too afraid of strangers (or too much like Leonardo Dicaprio’s “Catch Me if You Can” character!

With our premium version, the app will no longer show ads and your results will be available faster.With that noted, it’s safe to say Apple, Samsung and and any other cell phone manufacturers are not going to introduce it to the world.

Cheaper models may just scan a microchip and give you the number, whereas a top of the range model could be connected to a database of lost animals online. But one of our favourite features of Bewinner’s device is its internal historic data reader, which means you can easily navigate previous code readings if you ever need to double-check a past reading. If it is registered elsewhere, we will display which database holds information about that chip number alongside with the contact information for that database. While the needle that's used to implant the chip into the pet is a little larger than an ordinary syringe, they will barely notice its insertion.
