You need to see which one it is. Not all raders can read other chip numbers.
They can indicate there is a chip but not give a code so then we try one
of the other scanners. The ones used in the US most often are Avid and Home
Again. The Denmark chip may not be compatible. Here the most accepted one
is AVID it is required for guide dogs that travel to Hawaii. I actually
have a guide dog I treat that has both chips for that reason. Hope this
helps.
