All animals are scanned first thing when they are brought in to the shelter. The Home Again Scanner works great and is reliable.
Now that many people are microchipping their animals and shelters microchip animals before adoption, a scanner is a must have piece of equipment.

Pros: none

Cons: none

The peace of mind from the chip and the fact that this scanner is the one of choice for shelters, animal control facilities and vets makes me thrilled that there are more and more ways for pets to be identified and reunited with their parents.

Pros: PEACE OF MIND that my dog will be returned if he is ever lost.

Cons: none

I think every shelter and vet's office in the country should have one of these to check stray animals. It would save so many lives if we could track down all the owners of lost pets!

Pros: Saves lives!

Cons: None!

Easily detects a home again microchip with a scan of the wand. It helps shelters who pick up strays to identify a pet and reunite them with their owner.

Pros: Used by shelters and vets all over

Cons: None

A chip/scanner is a must these days. Our Shelter's Vet Tech and Asst. Manager has used many similar devices, over the years, and likes this one best

Pros: Better Readability

Cons: none known
