Pet Tags with a Tap: NFC for Lost & Found, Vets, and More

Your pet can’t speak—but that doesn’t mean they can’t be connected. NFC technology is changing the way we protect and care for our furry friends. With just one tap, an NFC-enabled tag on your pet’s collar can display essential information like their name, your contact number, vet records, and even allergies.

Why NFC Tags for Pets?

Traditional pet ID tags are limited. They often include just a name and phone number, and they wear out over time. With an NFC tag, you can link to a dynamic digital profile that’s always up-to-date and accessible with any smartphone—no apps or QR codes required.

What You Can Store on the NFC Tag

• Owner Contact Info: Name, phone number, and address (with optional emergency contact).
• Vet Details: Clinic info, latest vaccinations, medical notes.
• Pet Profile: Name, breed, age, microchip number, allergies.
• Lost & Found Message: A “Tap me if found” page with quick ways to reach you.
• Photos or Video: Add a fun personal touch or instructions for care.

How It Works

Each NFC tag is embedded into a small, waterproof accessory you can attach to your pet’s collar. When someone taps it with their phone, it opens the digital profile instantly in a browser. No batteries, no subscription—just convenience.

Our Recommended NFC Tag for Pets

We recommend our Customised NFC Pet Profile Card. It's fully editable and can be updated anytime via our free digital dashboard. You can:

• Change your phone number if you move or travel
• Add vet appointment notes or vaccination history
• Include alerts like “I have epilepsy” or “I’m deaf”

Most importantly, the tag can also act as a lost pet recovery tool. Anyone who finds your pet can tap the tag and see clear instructions and ways to reach you—even send a message via your linked profile.

Why It’s Safer Than Traditional Tags

Traditional tags can fall off, rust, or be difficult to read. Plus, they don't offer real-time updates. NFC tags are different. You stay in control of the content, and updates happen instantly without reprinting anything. If you're travelling, you can link to a temporary contact. If you foster pets, just reset the tag for the next one!

Peace of Mind for Pet Owners

Your pet’s safety isn’t something you want to gamble on. With an NFC pet tag, you’re giving them a smarter identity that travels with them everywhere. You’re also making it easier for strangers or neighbours to help your pet get back home.

More Than Just Lost & Found

These smart pet tags are useful even when your pet isn’t lost. If your dog goes to daycare or your cat has a pet sitter, they can simply tap the tag for feeding schedules, medication reminders, or notes on behaviour. No need to explain things multiple times.

Set Up in Minutes

It takes less than five minutes to set up your profile with our Tagify app. Once done, the card is ready to tap and show information. You can also design it with fun colours and your pet’s name for a personal touch.

Also Ideal for...

This NFC setup isn’t just for pets. We’ve seen similar use cases in:

• Pet grooming salons (check-in/check-out via tap)
• Veterinary clinics (digital ID card for each patient)
• Animal shelters (foster profiles, adoption info)

No matter where your pet goes, one tap is all it takes to keep them safe, seen, and supported.
