Halo Microchip Scanner, White

Product Information

The chip is injected carefully between the shoulder blades of your cat. (It’s a painless procedure that lasts only a few seconds.) If no wand scanner is available, try to get the handheld scanner as close to the cat as possible. Keep in mind that this approach may be made less effective by the metal of the trap. There are reports of some cases with complications during the microchipping process. Even though it is extremely rare, it can happen. And that’s why I highly recommend that you take your beloved pet to a veterinarian even though there’s no law. Q. Can a microchip really help me get my pet if they’re lost? The halo scanner is one of the best options for any pet owner. This handy and hand-held universal microchip reader comes at a great price. These new rules will help protect millions of cats across the country and will be brought in alongside a range of other protections we are introducing under our Action Plan for Animal Welfare. Cats Protection’s Head of Advocacy & Government Relations Jacqui Cuff said:

It will not be compulsory for free living cats that live with little or no human interaction or dependency, such as farm, feral or community cats.

The app can help you locate your pet and tell you the exact position of your pet along with the history of where it’s been. The ISO conformant chip is the most internationally accepted microchip available. This type is used in Europe, the US, and in Canada. These also hold a three-digit country code alongside a unique identifying number.

Each microchip contains an unique ID number for identifying the owner of the cat, in case your feline friend gets lost. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Subha-Ganguly/publication/297088924_Implantation_of_microchip_in_animals_A_Review/links/56dd043908aee73df6d40596/Implantation-of-microchip-in-animals-A-Review.pdfIt is easy to think that if a microchip scanner scans a microchip, that is the job done. This is very true, but there are plenty of extras to look out for which will make your life easier.

A well designed project. I did however notice that it does not calculate correctly for all tag#s. For example: For a tag with the number 500342777. The code correctly reads 00 1D D2 9F F9 and displays this in the serial monitor: However, it calculates based on 00 1D D1 9F F9 and displays on the module display the number 500277241. If the microchip reader does not indicate anything and the dog or cat has no tattoo, then it has no identity. The search for the owner may then be more complicated. In a lightweight steering wheel design that fits perfectly in your grip, it’s perfect for travel and fully rechargeable thanks to a USB port. Yet don’t expect to have to use this much, as with a stand by time of 6 months, it almost never needs recharging! A tuning capacitor is part of a microchip that works to receive power from the scanner when it’s passed close to the chip. Because the whole microchip doesn’t have its own power source, it needs to receive power from an outside source to transmit its information (your cat’s ID number).

The microchip components are encased in a biocompatible glass capsule. Biocompatible means the glass won’t react with the body in any way; it’s non-toxic and readily accepted by the cat’s body. It’s important that these capsules don’t cause allergic reactions as the body would then try to reject them, causing numerous issues. The capsules are often made from borosilicate glass or biocompatible soda lime and hermetically sealed to prevent bacteria or moisture from getting to the parts inside. Try turning your arm at a 90-degree angle. One end of a microchip reads better than the other, so increase your chances of finding the right angle. As a cat moves through a veterinary office or shelter, scan before each move or procedure to ensure you have the right cat.
