The present invention relates to a contact-type noseprint (nose fingerprint) reader for a companion animal, whereby an accurate noseprint image can be acquired regardless of the state of the companion animal during noseprint authentication of the companion animal. The noseprint reader comprises: a main body provided with a grip; a camera unit which is provided on the main body and captures the shape of the face or nose of the companion animal; a noseprint capturing unit which is provided on the main body and with which the nose of the companion animal comes into close contact in a pressed state, wherein the nose print capturing unit captures a noseprint image while filling in flat valleys formed in ridges of the nose; and a control unit which extracts image data acquired via the camera unit and the noseprint capturing unit, transmits the image data to a management server, registers the image data in the management server, and compares the acquired image data with pre-registered image data to authenticate the acquired image data.
