Tagsy for pet owners
Because some things are more than things.
A good ID tag helps the neighbour who finds your dog or cat reach you quickly. Tagsy LABEL puts a scannable identity on your pet’s kit today, and TRACK is being developed for activity and location later. Here’s exactly what each one does, and doesn’t.
Sound familiar?
Helping a finder reach you
Most wandering pets are found by a neighbour or passer-by. The quicker they can contact you, the quicker your pet is home.
Keeping your details private
Engraving a phone number on a tag works, but it’s public. A Tagsy QR identity lets a finder reach you through a private recovery route.
QR, Bluetooth or GPS?
They are different technologies that solve different problems. Knowing which is which saves money and disappointment.
Understanding activity and adventures
How active was the dog today? Where does the cat go at night? That’s the question TRACK is being built to answer.
ID, finding and tracking are not the same thing
QR identity (LABEL, available now) is passive. It has no battery and no signal. When someone finds your pet, they scan the code with a phone camera and reach you through a private recovery route. It helps a finder; it cannot show you where your pet is.
Bluetooth finding works over short distances using nearby phones. It’s designed for keys and bags rather than animals, which move and roam. GPS-style tracking uses satellite positioning and usually a mobile connection to report location. That’s the territory TRACK is exploring, starting with cats and dogs: activity, journey history after the device syncs, and, as a future layer, live location. TRACK is in development, with no specs or prices yet.
A QR tag does not replace microchipping. In England, dogs must be microchipped and registered by 8 weeks old and cats by 20 weeks, and dogs in public must still wear a collar and tag with the owner’s name and address. Rules differ across the UK, so check GOV.UK or your local authority. Think of a Tagsy as an extra, finder-friendly layer on top of what the law requires.
For pet owners

Common problems we help with
Questions, answered
Does a Tagsy QR tag replace my pet’s microchip?
No. In England, dogs must be microchipped by 8 weeks old and cats by 20 weeks, and microchip details must be kept up to date. A Tagsy is an extra way for a finder to reach you, never a substitute.
Does my dog still need an engraved tag?
In the UK, dogs in public places must wear a collar and tag showing the owner’s name and address. Check GOV.UK for current rules. A Tagsy can sit alongside it.
Can Tagsy show me where my pet is?
Not today. LABEL is a passive QR identity and doesn’t broadcast location. TRACK is in development to explore activity and location for pets. Join the list to hear first.
What’s the difference between a QR pet tag and a GPS tracker?
A QR tag helps whoever finds your pet contact you. A GPS-style tracker reports location to you, usually needs charging and often a subscription. Read QR pet tag vs GPS tracker.
Is PULSE suitable for pets?
PULSE is designed for finding belongings like keys and bags using Bluetooth, not for tracking animals. Pet products belong to TRACK.
