The 10-digit chips (type FDX-A) can be used, among other countries, in the US. The scanner is compact and fits comfortably in hand. The chip reader "Halo" is also resilient. The scanner can be used for the scanning of chips in horses, dogs, cats, sheep, and other animals.
Recognition of missing animals:
The Halo chip scanner can indicate when a scanned chip is reported missing. This involves using the Scanner Angel database. This database allows organizations to add missing animals and to register the chip numbers of missing animals. When the Halo chip reader is conntected via the USB port on the computer over the internet, the most recent data from the scanner Angel database is loaded into the halo scanner. When the scanner scans a missing chip, this is directly indicated on the screen, along with the telephone number of the organization where the animal was reported missing. There can be acted immediately and the animal can be quickly reunited with its owner.
