Potentially dangerous

Terrible app, terrible website, impossible to get hold of. Looking like I’ll have to get my pet re-chipped with a chip that actually works.

Who wants their pet to have two chips floating round in them, or pay for one to be removed? Not good for the animal and potentially dangerous.

Hello Richard,

We take matters like this very serious. Please could you email all the relevant information over to us at support@petscanner.com

It is likely that your pet’s microchip was rejected rather than faulty. However, we want to make 100% sure this is the case and that all your details are up to date on the PetScanner database if your pet does need to have a replacement microchip. We will also make sure all fees are fully reimbursed.

Many thanks,

The PetScanner Team

Implanter Course

Just completed the implanter course and have been really happy with the process from start to finish. I will now transfer all my microchips for my own dogs to petscanner.com as the registration is only £2.99. A great price for all new puppy owners.

Professional quality service

I began using this company after advice from a friend who couldn't recommend PetScanner highly enough. I've been with PetScanner for several months now and can only say how easy it is to use their services. Customer service is A1 and I can reach them by phone without problem and they always follow up on emails. The PetScanner team are very professional, friendly, polite and helpful.
I would never use another DEFRA approved microchip registration company.

Poor service on Microchipped Dog-UPDATED TO 4*

The Petscanner Database did not release my details when my dog was lost - thus costing me the Warden callout fee plus kennel fees for something they should have prevented. My dog was scanned by the Warden and Petscanner refused to release the information.

UPDATE:
The team did follow up a few times with me to make sure that my dog is back safe - it seems that the warden never requested her details from them .... so PetScanner is not to blame - so from 1* to 4*

The scanner only works when the location setting is on and the phone can connect to PetScanner.com. Unfortunately that page appears to have frequent connection problems making it impossible to use the scanner. Good idea but too many flaws to really work.
We need a reliable scanner.

Hello Stiofan,

Sorry to hear that you were unable to use the scanner due to connection problems. Our downtime is very minimal and calculated to run during the most inactive time frames to prevent any interrupted services. The downtime you incurred on the 18th June was due to an Open Reach issue in our area.

At this current moment in time, we require internet access to obtain the microchip number and to be able to crosscheck other databases. We also provide the scan record to the registered keeper of the pet. We are looking at ways to implement a 'offline' ability to our existing app and scanner.

Many thanks,

The PetScanner Team

Updated review… working very well now!

I reviewed this product a couple of years ago and gave an unfavorable review, because it didn’t seem to work with my iPhone and/or my microchips. Well, I’m not sure what got fixed, but it is now working perfectly with my iphone. The company was helpful with the previous problems, so I was also happy with the level of customer service. I would now say that this is a great product for the price and am happy I got it.

Hello Kevin,

Thanks for your honest review.

Due to the nature of the implantation procedure, there will always be microchips that have migrated deeper or around the body which is something we are unable to foresee.

We are working on increasing the range for our iOS users which may increase the scan range of the current scanner you have.

Many thanks,

It works great and is probably one of the few systems that will alert you if your missing dog or cat is ever scanned and searched for on any one of the 13 Defra databases and will tell you which database holds the pet's details. Highly recommended with the right package.

Great for scanning new cats in the area that you think may be lost. With the microchip number you can call any vet and they can check the number on the online database. This will often reunite the cat with its owner.
Much easier than trapping the cat and taking it to the vet to scan.

Only good for dogs registered with petscanner.

Didnt find out until purchased that it only scans dogs that have the same membership with them. I bought it because we rescue lots of dogs and not any so far we rescued . The scanner now takes pride of place in the bin

Hi Steve,

Your PetScanner can scan any existing microchip in any pet, it doesn't have to be registered with the PeScanner database - at a minimum, it will show you the microchip number and the database the pet is registered with (we search all 13 government approved databases and over 40 worldwide databases).

If the scanned pet is registered with PetScanner, the app will show you further details. More information on this can be found on our website https://www.petscanner.com/index.php/using-our-scanner/

Many Thanks,

Sadly unreliable

Generally the scanner is OK but have a few instances now where the scanner has not picked a chip up but a different scanner has. I really wanted this scanner to be wonderful because I scan a lot of lost and found animals but, sadly, I have to find it unreliable due to not picking up microchips that a different scanner has found.

I can't rate this highly enough

I can't rate this highly enough. It no only scans but also tells you the chip company it's registered with. The device itself is small enough to carry with you everywhere. As I do a lot of rescue work I have it in my bag ready for any animal I need to check.
