Vet note

“A tag is only useful if a stranger can read it.”

Whoever finds your pet taps or scans the tag with any phone and reaches your pet’s free profile straight away, with no app to download. It does not replace a microchip; keep both.

FAQ

Questions pet owners ask us

Clear answers about the tags, the free profile and the app.

Is this a GPS tracker tag? Does it track my pet’s location or health?

No. This smart ID tag does not continuously track your pet’s location or health. However, when someone scans the tag, you’ll receive an alert with the scan location when available, using the finder’s device location. For real-time GPS and health tracking, check out the ASK A VET™ Premium Touchscreen Tracker.

Does the finder need an app to scan the QR code or NFC tag?

No. Anyone can access your pet’s profile by scanning the QR code or tapping the tag with an NFC-compatible phone. No app or account is required.

What can someone see when they scan the tag?

They can instantly access your pet’s digital profile, including the information you choose to share, such as contact details, medical alerts, allergies, medications, dietary needs, and care instructions.

Will I know when someone scans my pet’s tag?

Yes. You’ll receive an alert when your pet’s tag is scanned. When location is available, the alert can also include the location where the scan happened, helping you know where your pet was found.

Does this replace a microchip?

We recommend using both. A microchip provides permanent identification but requires a compatible scanner. The ASK A VET™ ID Tag gives anyone with a smartphone quick access to your pet’s up-to-date profile and contact information.

Is there a subscription fee?

No. Your pet’s digital ID profile is included for life at no additional cost. Optional ASK A VET™ features and services may require a separate subscription.

Can I update my pet’s information?

Yes. Update your contact details, medical information, allergies, medications, care instructions, and other profile information anytime through ASK A VET™. There’s no need to replace the tag when your pet’s details change.

Will it fit my pet’s collar?

The Hanging tag attaches to your pet’s collar and comes in Small or Medium. The Slide-On tag slides directly onto a collar and comes in Small, Medium and Large; check your collar’s width and fastening before ordering. Contact us if you need help choosing.

Is it a silent tag, or does it jingle like metal tags?

It’s silent. The soft silicone tag is designed for comfortable, everyday wear on your pet’s collar, and it doesn’t make noise like metal tags.
