What pet parents tell us about their Smart ID Tags and GPS trackers.

The tag is super cute, lightweight, and jingle-free! The app is easy to use.

MichelleVerified buyerSmart ID Tag customer

Love this tag! Not only is this tag super cute, but it also is super functional! We love how quiet this tag is when my dog is walking around and it’s super easy for us to scan the QR code to get all the important information on our phone. Definitely recommend!

TobytheaussiedooodVerified buyerSmart ID Tag customer

Such a cute and smart idea! I love how easy it is to set up and that there’s no need for engraving or batteries. The QR code works instantly, and it gives peace of mind knowing my pet’s info can be accessed quickly if needed. It’s also super lightweight and looks adorable on the collar—definitely both practical and…

Oreo B.Verified buyerSmart ID Tag customer

Just got this adorable QR ID tag for my dog’s harness! One side has these tiny bubble tea and avocado characters, and the QR code is on the back. I’m totally obsessed with the design—I think I need to start a collection

Amazing works very well. It tracks everything. From tracking my pet to calculating the calories my dog burns, steps, and even more. It’s amazing.

My large bull arab is getting on in age and this is perfect for keeping an eye on him. He is the coolest looking dog at the park now as well :)

GoodAvoBoyTrack & Scan Bundle customer

This was perfect for my dog avo, getting to have a personalised avocado pet tag. My dog loves playing in the water and going on big walks in the bus so having that piece of mind that his details will always be with him is super refreshing.

I hesitated for a long time about whether I needed a tracker, but now I can't imagine our walks without it. The app works perfectly, and the location updates without any delays. Now I always know where my dog is, even if they decide to chase a squirrel. Highly recommend it to all owners of active pets!

Amazing. I wasn’t going to invest in a tracker, but when I received it, I can confidently say it works like a dream. And it was worth the investment a million percent.

Really impressed with the premium tracker so far. Feels solid and well made without being too bulky on our chocolate lab’s collar. The GPS tracking and health features are genuinely useful and it’s handled beach trips, walks and everyday wear really well. Love this product!

Ashley H.Verified buyerGPS Tracker customer

Really happy with the Avocado ID tag for our chocolate lab. The design is cute without being over the top, and it feels really sturdy and well made. It’s also surprisingly lightweight on her collar, which I’m sure owners of smaller dogs would appreciate too.

Ashley H.Verified buyerSmart ID Tag customer

We recently moved to a rural farm, and I was concerned that my 'city' dog would wander out of sight. There are wild animals here. I love this tracker tag. It was easy to set up, and also the community features on the app are cool. Totally worth it for peace of mind!

Frequently asked questions

Products, app features and veterinary information should be easy to understand before you buy or rely on them.

Is ASK A VET only for dogs and cats?

No. The animal health library covers companion animals, horses, farm animals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, aquatic animals, wildlife and exotic species. App and hardware compatibility varies, so check the relevant product or app page.

Can I use the site before I own an animal?

Yes. Use the articles and free tools to research species, housing, nutrition, behaviour, costs, time and common health needs before making a commitment.

Does the GPS Tracker require a plan?

Yes. Live GPS, mobile connectivity and safe-zone alerts require a current Tracker Plan. Coverage, update speed and accuracy vary by location, environment and selected tracking mode.

Does a Smart ID Tag replace a microchip?

No. A Smart ID Tag complements a registered microchip and visible identification. Keep microchip details current with the appropriate registry.

Does a finder need the app to scan an ID Tag?

No. A finder can scan the QR code and open the information you choose to share in a browser. NFC tapping depends on a compatible tag and phone.

Can tracker health trends diagnose illness?

No. Activity, sleep, behaviour and temperature trends are informational and are not a veterinary diagnosis. Contact a veterinarian when an animal is unwell or you are concerned.

Is the ASK A VET app free?

The app is free to download for iPhone and Android. Tracker connectivity, veterinary support and other premium features may require compatible hardware or a paid plan. Check the app for current availability and inclusions.

Who are the free calculators for?

Owner tools provide general educational guidance. Clinical calculators are designed for veterinarians, veterinary nurses and students, and do not replace professional judgement, local protocols or checking source calculations.
