Such a bizarre design so it’s a little awkward to hold it while you’re scanning the pet. Unfortunately, it does not read the nine digit microchip numbers so it’s kind of a waste.

I was nervous about buying a less expensive scanner. There are so many brands of chips that I was afraid it would not pick them all up. Someone brought me a dog because the shelter was closed and said she had no chip. The local emergency vet scanned her 3 times. I thought, "Why not?" and it popped up immediately! For the AVID encrypted I got a message that there was an encrypted chip and went to that same vet and they scanned and got the number for me.

My 10-year old dog has a non-ISO 10-digit microchip, that we weren’t sure of the manufacturer. We really needed a scanner that works for his microchip, since we’re moving overseas. Because his microchip isn’t ISO compliant, we’d have to bring our own scanner. The $50 Manruta scanner I got didn’t detect it at all. After research, we found that it’s a HomeAgain microchip (4A....), and a FDX-A one.This scanner immediately detected his microchip! Thankful that we didn’t have to buy the “universal” scanner that is over $200!

I do a lot of work with dog rescue and bought one of these to save me the hassle of taking dogs to the vet or shelter to be scanned. I have found more information from using this than any vet or shelter has provided. I have actually been able to locate owners of dogs and trace their entire history! Simple to use, always scans the chip right away... easy to recharge. No need to pay hundreds of dollars... trust me, this does the job!

There was cat hanging out in our Balcony . I wasn’t able to to take it to the animal control/ vet to get it scanned for a microchip . I decided to buy this microchip scanner.The instructions were easy to follow . You just need to charge it with a USB cable . And easy to scan too . No software needed .We scanned the cat and it returned a 15 digit ID. It helped us return the cat to its owner ( cat had been missing for two months ) . The price is pretty reasonable too .

WORKS GREAT!After the recent spate of California wildfires we decided we needed to microchip all or the horses here at the barn. It just makes it easier to reunite people with their animals if they are hastily evacuated.Keep in mind this will not work with all chips- such as Avid and others- as stated in the description.It was great to scan my animals- Dogs, Cats and Horses- that we knew were already chipped and verify the chips were still there and working.It was also great to find that one horse had already chipped that we did not know had one.My friend who is also a veterinarian has taken it from me and is using it as she implants other peoples horses with Chips.Bottom line- great unit for the Money!

A month ago, this cute cat showed up on my back porch and didn't want to leave. I fed him for a bit, and started wondering if he was a stray or if someone was missing him. Ordered this scanner which brought his chip number up. I called the microchip company who contacted the owner. This cat had been missing for nearly two years after he escaped from a window! His owner was so overjoyed and couldn't believe it. The kitty is happily reunited with his owner and getting spoiled rotten I'm sure. It scanned my own cats no problem too. Highly recommended!

I bought this one at a super price here on Amazon best price I could find anywhere to use with my Pro ID mini micro chips it has exceeded my expectations it has read every chip I have tried with it including the AKC and 9 digit avid chips even though it says it does not, it also scanned my imported from Poland dogs international chip I'm not sure what type of chip he has either it worked on the home again chips I scanned and of course the Pro Id chips as well!It is super small very easy to use I have had zero trouble picking up any of the chips I have scanned so far not missed a single one. I cannot imagine that the much higher priced readers could be any better and I'm not sure why they say it does not read Avid chips or AKC chips.I have started to chip my puppies before they go home to their new families and will update this review if anything changes in the future but I am more than happy with with this reader in every way. It came days before the expected delivery date nicely packed as well.[...] try this link if you need to look up a chip.
