Product Information

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.

Final thoughts 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. Single button press; When the Halo is on standby, a single button press will reactivate the scanner 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.”
