🐾 Pet Microchip Scanning Guide

Step 1: Turn On the Scanner

Press the power button. The screen will say “Scanning” and beep once.

Step 2: Scan the Pet

Move the scanner slowly in an “S” pattern from the head to the tail.

Don’t forget the sides, chest, and behind the front legs.

Step 3: Check for a Chip

If the scanner beeps and a number appears, you’ve found a chip!

Take a photo of the number for reference.
