Introducing your new 24PetWatch Reader The 24 PetWatch Microchip Reader has a lightweight, ergonomic and compact design, which makes scanning and identifying animals via their microchip that much easier. The microchip reader is compatible with common microchip types including temperature-sensing microchips. This means, as well as showing an animal’s unique microchip number, the reader will also display its internal Microchip Temperature if a temperature sensing-microchip is present.
