User reviews

Worst ever app for money

Your really need to get some competent devs and QA engineers, this is the single worst app, your barcode scanner does not work, entering the chip number manually makes the app close. It’s a joke, your company is a joke hope you go broke

Doesn’t work.

I can’t even log into my account to see anything. Keeps saying there’s an issue. How can I find out where my cat was scanned if I can’t see the history? It doesn’t come up on the website!! So please get this sorted!!!

Sub is a scam

You pay £2.99 to register your pet (fair enough) - but the £2.99 quarterly sub payment service is ‘optional’ but is actually automatically added to your account with no way to remove prior via the website (per their faq) - you have to go into Paypal > payments > pre-approved > find the payment and cancel it re-occurring or they’ll have you for £2.99 per quarter. Scummy.

Rubbish App

Bought my puppy and the previous owner had a chip installed and the paperwork was for this rubbish app. My Apple Pay has set up the subscription but the app won’t “protect” my puppy and register her details. I don’t recommend this app and wish that the seller had not used their chip.

FAQ

What does the PetScanner app do?

The PetScanner app combines pet microchip registration and scanning into a single system. It helps pet keepers and professionals quickly identify microchipped animals and facilitates their safe return if lost. The app guides users through the process of contacting owners or relevant databases based on the microchip's registration status.

How does the PetScanner app help reunite lost pets?

When a microchipped pet is scanned using the PetScanner smart microchip scanner, the app displays the microchip number. If the pet is registered with PetScanner, the owner's contact details are provided for easy communication. If registered elsewhere, the app identifies the correct database and offers contact information.

Is the PetScanner app free to use?

The app itself is free to download and use for scanning and identifying microchips. However, registering a pet's microchip details with the DEFRA-compliant database incurs a small fee. Optional subscription benefits are also available for additional perks.

Can I scan my pet's microchip with my smartphone camera?

No, you cannot scan a microchip with your smartphone alone. The PetScanner app requires pairing with a dedicated PetScanner smart microchip scanner to read FDX-B (15-digit) microchips from pets like dogs and cats.

Who is the PetScanner app designed for?

The app is designed for a wide range of users including pet keepers who want to ensure their pet can be identified, veterinarians who need to quickly access pet information, animal rescue organizations, and local authorities involved in animal welfare and identification.
