Dog ID • QR & NFC tag
A QR & NFC ID Tag for Your Dog
The numbers are hard to ignore. Roughly one dog in three goes missing at least once in its life. This little tag on the collar means that whoever finds your dog can hold up a phone and know, right away, who's waiting for them at home. No app, no battery, no subscription.
Why put a QR ID tag on your dog
Even the most carefully watched dog can bolt. All it takes is fireworks on New Year's Eve, a courier who left the gate ajar, or a cat darting across the path mid-walk. The first hours are what count. People say the odds of a safe return drop by nearly half after the first day, so the faster a finder can reach you, the better.
A plain engraved tag holds a name and one number. That's it. A QR and NFC ID tag from BringMeHome links to your dog's whole profile, and you can change it whenever you like. New phone number? Something about your dog's health has changed? You fix it on your phone, without a trip to the engraver.
How it works for your dog
You set up a free account and fill in your dog's profile: name, photo, breed, anything a finder should watch out for, and the best way to reach you. Then you clip the tag to the collar and forget it's there.
When the moment comes, the finder points a camera at the code or holds their phone to the NFC chip. Your dog's profile opens straight away in the browser, and one tap calls or messages you. They don't download anything or set up an account. It works on whatever phone is in their pocket.
Dog ID, pet ID, QR tag — is it all the same thing?
Yes, these are just different names for the same thing. "Dog ID," "pet ID" or "QR ID tag for dogs" all mean one thing: a digital tag that, once scanned, shows your dog's profile and a way to reach you. We just call it a BringMeHome tag.
A QR tag or a microchip? Honestly, have both
A microchip is permanent and sits in the official registry, but only a vet or a shelter can read it, and only with a special scanner. The stranger who finds your dog on the street can't exactly look under its skin.
A QR and NFC tag, on the other hand, can be scanned on the spot by anyone with an ordinary phone, and they can call you in seconds. So the best answer is both: the chip as your registry entry, the tag for fast contact right there, when every minute counts.
No battery, no subscription
The tag is passive and waterproof. There's no battery, nothing to charge, and nothing that runs flat at the exact moment you need it most. It shrugs off rain, mud and daily chasing after a ball. The account and your dog's profile cost nothing, and you pay for the tag once. No monthly fees.
Dog ID tags — the questions we hear most
How much does a dog ID tag cost?
The account and your dog's profile are free. You pay once for the tag itself, and that's it. No subscription, no hidden costs.
Does the finder have to install anything?
No. Your dog's profile opens straight in their browser when they scan the QR code or hold their phone to the NFC chip.
Can I change my dog's details later?
Yes, whenever you like, and without swapping the tag. Update your number, the photo or the "lost" status from your account in seconds.
Will the tag survive rain and mud?
Easily. It's waterproof and needs no upkeep, so puddles, downpours and a good roll in the grass are no trouble at all.
