Why it matters
ISENVO's scanner reads EMID and ISO 11784/11785 (FDX-B, 15-digit) microchips at the press of a button. That's handy for confirming your cat's chip number and checking it reads before you set up a microchip flap or feeder.
It stores 128 readings, transfers them by USB, and recharges over USB. Check which chip standard your cat has; readers differ on older 9- and 10-digit chips.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
