Scanning pets and getting the microchip number is included with your PetScanner at no additional cost! Free scanning: If the pet has a FDX-B microchip implanted, PetScanner will be able to read the microchip and display the chip number alongside these 3 possible scenarios when you scan a pet: If it is registered with PetScanner, it will display the contact details of the owner. If it is registered elsewhere, we will display which database holds information about that chip number alongside with the contact information for that database. If it is not registered with any database or we can not find it, it will only display the chip number Optional registration & PetScanner Pet Protection: When a pet is not yet registered with PetScanner it will prompt you with the option to register it with us so you can protect your pet with our system (optional): We offer the lowest cost DEFRA-compliant microchip registration at just 2.99 (one-off payment for one pet) which allows you to update your contact and address details for FREE during the lifetime of your pet and gives you the ability to be contacted by anyone that physically scans your pet if lost or stolen.
