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 got this to make sure my dog's chip is still active every time I cross the border into Canada.This unit is very fast at detecting the chip, and at a good distance. In fact it is so good, that it's hard to even pinpoint where the chip is. It arrived almost full charge, and the menus and functions were easy to understand. The screen is of sufficient size and bright enough for indoor use. I have not yet tried it outdoors. The beep is not objectionable and can be lowered in volume. It does NOT beep while charging. I have also transferred data via BT (HID Mode) for a single scan and downloaded the entire memory with no problem.

My daughter who lives in an area loaded with stray cats got this first and has been happy with its effectiveness. Where I live we get a few a month and I was always looking for an i.d. tag, calling the owner, usually not getting an answer, faced with a challenge then. Now I love seeing a stray cat or dog so I can assist by calling the chip source for more accurate information and advice. I love the simplicity of this scanner and I think it’s a good value! When scanning, remember to cover the neck all the way to the shoulders. My husband scared me when he said there wasn’t a chip on our pet so I did a more thorough scan area. Whew! It was closer to the space between the shoulder blades.

Both of my dogs are chipped but they have never been scanned and I don’t particularly trust their new vet who forgot to scan them and insists I drive the hr back to have them scan them because “they may not really be chipped.” I decided to order this to preventably know they are just in case they try to lie to me when I go back. Both dogs chips immediately pinged with the serial numbers of the chips that match what I registered. Very easy to use and worked quickly. I great little tool to have one hand.

Good quality for the price!

I bought the Smoostart Pet Microchip Scanner with high hopes, envisioning a future where I'd effortlessly identify every missing pet or misplaced pig in my vicinity. After all, how hard could it be? Apparently, quite hard!The moment I powered up this sleek black marvel, I imagined it as a high-tech wand capable of revealing the hidden identities of animals. Instead, it turned into a digital game of "Tag, You're Not It." Despite my valiant attempts with three different tags, the scanner was like a stubborn genie refusing to grant any wishes. Each time I waved it around, it flatly refused to acknowledge the tags, proclaiming with an air of digital disdain, “No tag found.”If this scanner were a character in a movie, it would be the overly dramatic villain with a flair for theatrical misdirection. Unfortunately, unlike a villain in a film, it doesn't come with a redemption arc. Instead, it left me with an empty feeling and a growing pile of animal tags.In the end, the Smoostart Pet Microchip Scanner is perfect if your goal is to master the art of scanning nothingness. For those seeking a reliable way to read pet microchips, you might want to keep searching for a scanner that doesn’t see every tag as a figment of its imagination.

I found a small chihuahua not too long ago, brought him in, checked for chip and voila ! He had one. Called the chip company and they gave me the info to contact the owner! Yay !

Love it! Easy to use and quick!

Helped me find this beautiful kitty’s owners!
