When a tag is scanned, your approximate location is shared with the pet’s owner to help reunite them.
We also store an identifier on this device so the tag cannot be abused. Location is never required — the scan is recorded either way.
Activate your Ask A Vet pet tag
Link this tag to your pet’s profile — anyone who finds them can scan it with any phone camera and reach you in seconds.
Until a tag is activated it holds no details at all, so a finder who scans it cannot reach anyone. Activation happens in the Ask A Vet app, and you choose what a finder sees — you can change it at any time without replacing the tag.
3 Simple Steps
Three screens in the app, and the tag is live.
