Does a paper tag replace a collar ID tag or microchip?
No. It's a quick extra layer. Keep a metal ID tag on the collar and keep your microchip details up to date. A QR tag adds a scannable link and is easy to make for leashes, harnesses and carriers.
What does the QR code do?
On this page it starts a phone call to your number. With a free Pawrently account it opens a page with your pet's photo, notes and a message button for the finder.
Is my phone number stored?
Not on this page. The tag is created in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
How do I make it waterproof?
Cover both sides with clear packing tape, overlapping the edges slightly, or use self-laminating pouches.
