NZ Scanner Angel

It is widely accepted that the single most effective way of getting lost pets home is microchipping and registration

The success of microchipping has been the huge growth in the technology that allows microchips to be read. Scanners are now available at vet clinics, councils, pets shops, rescue organisations and many other locations throughout New Zealand.

The quicker a chip can be scanned the quicker the missing pet can be returned home.

To boost both the usefulness and availability of scanners Animal Register Limited has worked with ID Porte in the UK to roll out a new technology called "Scanner Angel", along with the "Halo Scanner". The advantage of this new technology is that the scanner has the ability to download the list of microchip numbers currently reported as missing from pet databases all over the world and display this data directly on the Halo Scanner when an animal is scanned.

Updated every time the scanner is plugged in to recharge, this allows people to quickly identifty both missing and stolen pets.

Unlike collar based technology the microchip does not go flat, does not fall off, and is not easily removed. While tracking a pet maybe a nice tool, it does not offer the security of microchipping and registration.
