What is Scanner Angel?

A background and history to the scanner angel software

Introduction

Scanner Angel is an international lost and found network that uses both software and hardware to locate missing microchipped pets.

Working in conjunction with lost pet databases in over 15 countries the software stores the microchip number of missing pets. Scanner Angel does not hold any animal descriptions or confidential contact details as this is stored within the lost pet databases it partners with.

The Halo scanner is a standard microchip scanner that can read all ISO compliant FDX microchips. However it also has smart technology that allows it to display a missing notices message when the microchip of a missing pet is scanned.

The scanner stores these missing chip numbers and it automatically updates this list each time the scanner is plugged into a USB port to recharge.

This new system has been developed and built in Europe by the Pet Accessory Workshop In New Zealand it will be working exclusively with Animal Register Limited. To read more about implementing Scanner Angel in New Zealand, click here.
