We also looked at cost. Microchip scanners aren’t an essential piece of kit for the majority of pet keepers, so you’d likely not use one daily unless you’re a rescuer. Therefore you won’t want to spend a lot. But we found that some of the cheapest microchip scanners simply don’t live up to the task at hand, so we had to find a balance. Ergonomically designed to allow ease of usage, this lightweight microchip scanner enables pet owners to use it over an extended time without tiring.

ISO (International Standards Organisation) microchips usually broadcast information on a frequency of 134.2kHz, whilst non-ISO frequency is 125 kHz or 128 kHz. The majority of scanners are now universal, so will operate at all frequencies, but some cheaper modern models will only scan at ISO level. Paula Boyden, veterinary director of the Dogs Trust, said: “Losing a dog is an extremely upsetting time for both dog and dog owner and microchipping increases the likelihood that a dog will be reunited with its owner, making it an essential part of animal welfare law.” Microchipping is more common in dogs and cats, but other animals are chipped, including ferrets, horses, and other mammals.

How long is the process?The British Veterinary Association’s 2017 Voice of the Veterinary Profession survey revealed that the most common reasons why stray dogs couldn't be reunited with their owners were because they had no identifying microchip or collar/tag (50%) or the information held on the microchip database hadn't been kept up to date (44%) AKC Reunite WandScan 900 Pro has powerful microchip detection capabilities that also help keep the user at a safe distance from uncontrollable, dangerous, unknown animals. Its halo design has a continuous, round antenna for maximum microchip detection capabilities. If you are a pet owner, I know this information is daunting since this is a large number. However, it shows how vulnerable pets are to going astray or getting stolen. Cats or dogs can wander off at any moment regardless of the measures you have put into preventing this scary scenario from happening. Researchers indicate that approximately 3 out of 10 dogs are bound to go astray at some point in their lives.
