Product Information

In recent years though, pet microchips have played a huge part in reuniting lost loved ones with their owners. It has been mandatory to microchip dogs since 2016, and the government introduced mandatory cat microchipping in 2021 too. Since October 2020 it has also been mandatory for all owners to chip their horses, ponies and donkeys.

Another example for a tag with the number 503103001. The code correctly reads 00 1D FC BE 19 and displays this in the serial monitor. However, it calculates based on 00 1D FB BE 19 and displays on the module display the number 503037465. The HEX value in the third position is valued one HEX value lower and then it calculates. I wired this project first using nano and then Mega2560 and the same problem occurred for some the reading of some animal rfid tags. The country number was reading and displaying correctly in all cases. Power – Our cable PetScanner does not require batteries, it is powered using your Android smartphone. Our Bluetooth PetScanner will require a PP3 battery (rectangle ones) which has a good shelf life, whilst other microchip scanners have a limited standby battery time and need to be recharged. Quality-driven manufacturing is our top priority to protect the pets that enhance and enrich our lives! For example, as they’re all wireless and portable, you want one with a long battery life that won’t let you down if you forgot to charge it and need it in an emergency. Opt for a rechargeable scanner too – batteries are not reliable. Most come with a USB cable so you can charge it at home or in the car. Microchip readers are niche-specific products, so only a handful of reliable manufacturers exist. So, ensure that the scanner is working perfectly. Connection Issues Between The Scanner And The PhoneI’m not going to cover many countries but just the UK, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand. You’re legally obligated to microchip your dog if you reside in any of these countries. Let me elaborate a little bit.

So, let’s say your smartphone can scan dog microchips. But you need to have the appropriate mobile app for that. ISO (International Standards Organisation) microchips are recognised worldwide. Non-ISO microchips are mostly found in older dogs and cats which were chipped before ISO was established, so while they’re rarer there is still a risk you could encounter one. The following two references contain HEC to DEC methods and may be a solution to the calculation problem: At first glance, a dog microchip reader might seem like something out of a sci-fi movie. Place it near your furry pal, and voila, it reads out a unique ID. But how exactly does this little device weave its magic?

They detect microchips across various frequencies, ensuring that no matter the brand or type of chip your dog has, it gets read. Especially useful for rescue organizations or multi-pet households. Warning: You have entered a microchip beginning with “TR”, this is a manufacturer code and should be removed before searching. Before diving headfirst into the nitty-gritty of dog microchip readers, let's take a brief moment to understand why these are particularly vital for our canine companions. You see, dogs have this innate sense of adventure. Whether it's chasing a squirrel, following a fascinating scent, or just exploring new territories, they can sometimes wander off further than expected. And while their sense of smell is legendary, it doesn't always guide them home. This is where the dog microchip reader plays its heroic part. Dog Microchip Reader: The Basics

Most people get the process done when their pets are being neutered or stayed. Q. What about microchipping cost?A microchip is a tiny electronic chip sealed within a glass cylinder. It is no larger than the size of a grain of rice and is injected under the animal’s skin with the help of a hypodermic needle. As mentioned earlier, the microchip is an NFC device, which stands for Near-Field Communication. Okay, let's dip our toes into the specifics. Not all scanners are made equal, and here's where the waters can get a bit murky. Different microchips operate at varied frequencies. So, it's essential to ensure your scanner aligns with your pet's chip. Fortunately, there are universal scanners available these days which can detect and read multiple frequencies. Handy, right? The best part about chipping your pet is that it is not too expensive. And while the cost of chipping can vary from place to place, the peace of mind you get is worth it. ISO Certified product and production processes: ISO 11784 and ISO 11785, ISO 9001, ISO 7864, ISO 9626, ISO 2431-1, ISO 2431-3, DIN 13097-2, and Iso 13485 This helps remove all hesitation and uncertainty from an encounter with a lost animal, as you’ll always be able to know for certain whether they need help or not.
