Smoostart Microchip Scanner, 1000 Records Increased Huge Data Storage Upload to PC, Scanning Distance and Speed Increase, Only Compatible with FDX-B/EMID (15/10) Digits Microchips

I foster a LOT of dogs and cats. We regularly have animals coming through our home and staying with us for a short while, until they find a permenant home with another loving family... We also rescue cats and other animals. As respinsible.parents to these poor animals., we like to do things right: we take down their chip numbers, names, breed, feeding and medication needs, write them to NFC tags and put these on their collars. Until we got this little gadget, we relied on the vet, previous owner or carer to pass.over the animals.chip number, but not anymore... Now we simply turn on the scanner, wait a few sexonds while it boots up, press the scan button and wave the reader over the animals approximate chipped area (neck, rump / rear end usually). It reads quickly, accurately and works every time. The display is crisp and clear, battery life is superb, the scanning is fast and easy working even from a few cm away. It's a fantastic little tool and I recommend it for anyone wanting to scan pet chip IDs.

Quick and easy to use. No faults!

Brilliant , great value for money , picks up microchips perfectly

Didn’t work! Bought this to scan some cats that come to visit our home to see if they belong to anyone. I first tested it out in my cat but it kept saying she didn’t have a microchip when she definitely does. It’s just not sensitive enough unfortunately.

I bought this as we have a bunch of stray cats in the area and my neighbour was just feeding them constantly. I couldn't stop thinking about it; if they weren't strays, she was feeding someone else's cats and if they were, she wasn't getting them any help. I raised my concerns to her and she agreed, but didn't know what else she could do. I turned into our area's cat rescue service - every morning, when she fed the cats, I was out with this little device scanning them for chips to see if we could alert their owners for the fat ones and take them to a vet/shelter for the skinny, dirty ones. Turns out most of them were greedy (no surprise) but a few had genuine health issues and no chip, so I caught them and took them to the vet over the course of a week. And that's how I ended up going from 1 cat to 5 cats, because all the shelters were full and I wasn't going to just release them. The device works fine, it's just a bit quick to process the microchip number so it's worth having a phone ready to take a picture. The battery is a little bit touch and go, but unless you're a vet, you're unlikely to be using this constantly. It's a cute device too, looks good and feels smooth.

Does what it says on the tin! Read cats' chip no problem. Very happy to avoid a stressful trip to the vets after finding out the adoption info we were given 7 years ago was wrong!

Scanned my dog and cat for this, baring in mind he is 16 so it’s an older microchip and my cat is 9 months old so a newer microchip. Worked straight away with ease and shown up instantly. Great value for money, and definitely good if you can’t take your pet to the vets etc. I bought this originally to scan a stray cat which isn’t microchipped!

The scanner itself does work, but unfortunately the one I received seems to be faulty. I bought this because our vet made a mistake on the microchip paperwork for two of our kittens, and I wanted to double-check which microchip belonged to which kitten. The scanner did exactly what I needed in that sense, it confirmed that the vet had indeed mixed up the male and female on the forms, so I was able to correct the records. The scanner picked up the microchips very quickly and clearly displayed the full number, so I was able to read and verify each chip without any issues. It sensed the microchip almost instantly. The beep is quite loud, which startled some of our older cats, so that’s something to be aware of if you have nervous pets. If it wasn’t for the charging issue, this would have been absolutely fine. Unfortunately, mine will not charge at all. I tried multiple cables and left it plugged in for a long time in case it charged without showing an indicator, but it never did. That means once it runs out of battery, I won’t be able to use it again, which is why I’ve knocked off two stars. It’s also on me that I didn’t return it in time, I was very busy and missed the return window. I’m fairly sure I was just unlucky and received a faulty unit, but it’s still disappointing.

Fast charging.Long life battery. Shows complete number in any time of the day

Rapport qualité prix excellent. Je recommande.

Works great, I bought a few for the rescue I work with.

Please do not buy this item, the scanner cannot be charged at all. Tried using latops, pc and power socket with original and other USBc to no avail. Typical chinese switch and bait tactic.

I purchased this microchip scanner to help ensure that I properly placed the microchips in my pets, and it works great as intended. The scanner is easy to use and reliably detects the chips without issue. One thing to note: if you have pets that are sensitive to noise, you may want to open the scanner and remove the sound beep, as another reviewer previously mentioned. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase.
