1.1.6. Barcode Scanners

A handheld barcode scanner makes clinic life easier.

You can simply place your cursor in the microchip field, scan the microchip sticker, and it will automatically populate the field with the chip number. It’s a huge time-saver at checkout.

Initially, we preferred wireless scanners but found that forgetting to charge them before clinic could be a hassle. We now recommend a wired scanner for greater reliability.

Note: Many scanners plug into a USB port. If you’re using our recommended Surface Go’s, they do not have usb port, requiring an adapter like THIS ONE. If you still prefer a wireless scanner, THIS is a good one.
