QR code pet tag for dogs and catsGet their tag before they need it

If they're ever lost, whoever finds them scans the tag with any phone and messages you straight away. No app, no subscription.

Two PetTag QR code tags, pink and blue1 / 8

The code in these pictures works: scan it with your phone to open a demo pet's page.

Why a tag as well as a microchip?

Only a vet or warden with a scanner can read a chip, and in Battersea's 2026 survey of strays collected by councils, only 13 in 100 dogs had a chip with up-to-date details. Anyone can scan a PetTag with their phone, and you change your details in seconds. More figures

What owners say

5 out of 5
“Brilliant service from start to finish. I asked if they could point the QR code at my own custom web address instead of the standard page, and they sorted it without any fuss. Arthur was quick to reply and kept me updated the whole way through, which made it all really simple. The tag itself is really good quality and the QR code works flawlessly. Highly recommend.”

Good to know

When will my tags arrive?

We post orders the next working day (Small and Mini tags and tags with your details on the back are made to order, so within 2 working days). Delivery is free in the UK, and free abroad on 2 tags or more (£2.00 on a single tag). We'll email you when your order is on its way.

Can you put my name and address on the tag?

Yes, for £3 a tag. Instead of "Pet-Tag" on the back, we print two lines of your own, up to 12 characters each, in black and set into the plastic like the QR code. Your surname with your house number and postcode is what UK law asks a dog to wear in public, so one tag does both jobs. A phone number fits too. It's made to order, so it can't be returned for a change of mind, but anything wrong with it we'll always put right.

How big is the tag?

About 40 mm across (45 mm including the loop it hangs from) and 5 mm thick, and it weighs about 4 g, less than half the weight of a £1 coin. It's printed plastic with the QR code set into the face, in pink, blue, white or yellow, and comes with a split ring for the collar.

Does whoever finds my pet need an app?

No. Any modern iPhone or Android camera opens your pet's page. There's nothing to download.

Switching from another tag?

The complaints we see most about other QR tags are a monthly plan nobody mentioned, never hearing about a scan, and a code that wore off. PetTag is £10 once, with no plan to cancel. Every scan emails you the rough area, free, with no app to stay signed in to. Your number stays hidden at no extra cost. The code is set into the tag, not printed on top.

What to check in any tag
Is it waterproof? Will the code wear off?

Rain, mud and puddles don't hurt it: it's solid printed plastic, and the black code is set into the face rather than printed on top, so there's nothing to wash off or rub away. The plastic picks up scuffs over time, like any tag, and if yours ever wears or won't scan, we post you a free replacement.

7 more questions
What if there's no phone signal where my pet is found?

The code holds your pet's web address, so the finder's phone needs signal or wi-fi to open the page. Somewhere with neither, it opens the moment they're back in range. It's one reason a dog's collar must also carry your name and address by law: that part needs nothing at all.

Does it work abroad?

Yes. Your pet's page opens on any phone with internet, wherever you are, and we post to the UK, Europe, North America, Australia and a few other countries. The page is in English.

Is there a subscription?

No. You pay once, and your pet's profile stays free for life.

What if PetTag ever closes?

We'd email you at least 6 months before, and your pet's page would keep working the whole time. You can download your pet's details from your account any time, and anything printed on the back works with no website at all.

All our promises
Can I buy one as a present?

Yes. Tags arrive ready to set up, so whoever you give one to scans it with their phone, makes a free account and adds their own pet. You don't need an account to buy, and you can have the tags posted straight to them by putting their address in at checkout.

What if it's not right for me?

Tell us within 14 days of receiving your tags, post them back, and we'll refund you in full. No questions asked.

Does it cover the UK law for dog tags?

Yes, if you add your details to the back. Dogs in public must wear your name and address on their collar or a tag, and a QR code doesn't show those on its own. Tick "Add your address or phone number to the back" (+£3 a tag) and put your surname, house number and postcode there, so one tag does both jobs. Otherwise, keep an engraved tag or a collar with your details on alongside it.
