Dr Duncan explains the Hanging ID Tags

Read the script
  1. 0:00 G'day, I'm Dr Duncan Houston and this is my fake living room.
  2. 0:13 Look, what I've got at the moment are the Ask A Vet ID Tags. These are the hanging tags. There is a slide-on version that can slip onto the collar, or you thread the collar through it. These are the hanging tags, these are my favourite ones. The slide-on ones, it's okay, but the hanging ones have cool little kawaii designs.
  3. 0:28 So this is the most popular one, which is Avocado. It comes in small and medium. Small I would say is for anything less than 5kg or 10lbs, and medium for anything above that.
  4. 0:39 Now, why are these good? Look, on the back of these they do have a QR code that links to the app, and then they also have an NFC chip. So how does this work? First things first, if somebody scans your animal to see your contact details with this, they do not need the app. A specific little website page is made, so that when somebody scans this it goes to your pet's website page, and then they can see all the details that you want to show.
  5. 1:06 Alright, so let's get to it. How does this work? So there's a QR code on the back. If somebody finds your animal and scans it: one, you get a location of where they are and where they get scanned. So if that person doesn't end up calling you, you can see a time and date stamp as well as a location of where your pet was last scanned, whether it be a cat or a dog.
  6. 1:29 Two, when they scan it, it's not just going to be like a normal tag which has one name and one number, or a microchip, which is usually the breeder's details rather than somebody who's up to date. You can update this instantly. So when somebody scans this, they can see multiple details: they can see multiple people's names, emails, phone numbers. You put your information in there of what you want somebody to see.
  7. 1:52 The next thing is it will show medical details. You can write on here what medication they're on, and it can show to whoever finds the dog. It will also show their regular vet. You can put on who your regular vet is, so that if somebody finds your animal, they can take it to that vet clinic. So if they can't get in touch with you, there's somewhere that they can be that is safe until somebody comes to pick them up.
  8. 2:14 And then there'll be more information on here in the future, but the main things are multiple contacts, medical information and local vet information.
  9. 2:22 So you can put so much on this one little tag that's super lightweight, doesn't make any noise. It's made of silicone, so it's soft. These things are super safe to put on your animal, and they are a lifesaver.
  10. 2:34 And I should say, these come with a free lifetime subscription. So on the app, there's the free version. With the app, there are three tiers: there's free, there's tracker and then there's the premium. These can be used on the free subscription for life. It's not like you're paying a monthly subscription fee for these to work.
  11. 2:51 As long as the tag is still scannable, and the NFC chip is still scannable as well, these will work. So you can put them on your animal and that will last 16 years, 20 years, 30 years if you're lucky. These will still last the lifetime of your animal, so you don't ever have to change them. Okay, thanks very much.

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

So cute and such a relief to know my dog will get home safely.

NixSmart 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!

Sarah E.Verified buyerSmart ID Tag customer

That's a genuinely fun decision to make. The creative food-themed designs carry a sense of humour and personality that appeals to younger pet owners and social-media-active households. The pastel Sakura Matcha design and the jewel-toned Chocolates appeal to those who want something beautiful and characterful without…

AlfieVerified buyerSmart ID Tag customer

Most smart pet tags choose one or the other — either they look great and function adequately, or they're technically impressive and completely boring. The ASK A VETTM collection insists on both. The food-inspired creative designs are genuinely original and thoughtfully executed, appealing to the growing number of pet…

AlfieVerified buyerSmart ID Tag customer

Every design from the clean, versatile Black Classic Round to the wildly joyful Ramen and Salmon Sushi tags shares the same foundational technology: NFC tap and QR code dual-functionality that gives any finder instant access to your pet's full digital profile without needing to download an app. The profile includes…

NicoleSmart ID Tag customer

The digital profile loaded by a simple scan is so much more useful in an emergency than an engraved address. Finder gets a photo, contacts, allergies, vet info, and the owner gets a notification. That's the whole chain working perfectly.

AlfieVerified buyerSmart ID Tag customer

The smart recovery technology is identical across all designs, which I love: same NFC and QR dual-functionality, same waterproof silicone, same lifetime free profile subscription. The scan alert feature has already been used once and worked exactly as described. Worth every cent.

AlfieVerified buyerSmart ID Tag customer

The design is specific and joyful — very clearly a piece of sushi, and very clearly beloved by everyone who sees it. But the smart ID technology makes it more than just a novelty: NFC tap or QR scan, instant access to your pet's full profile, and a real-time notification to the owner's phone the moment someone scans…

NicoleSmart ID Tag customer

This tag has been on our cat's collar for three months and I am still obsessed with how it looks. The colours haven't faded at all, which was my main concern, and the QR code scans perfectly every single time. We've recommended the whole ASK A VET range to several friends now, and the Sakura Matcha is always the…

AlfieVerified buyerSmart ID Tag customer

We chose the Sakura Matcha tag for our Japanese Spitz and it looks like it was designed specifically for her. The pastel tones are gentle enough to work for any gender and any breed, and the silicone quality has stood up to everything from rain walks to swimming. The digital profile feature lets us keep emergency…

AlfieVerified buyerSmart ID Tag customer

The Sakura Matcha design is genuinely one of the most beautiful colour combinations I've seen on any pet product. The soft pink and calming green work together perfectly and photograph beautifully — which is a bonus when you have a pet who is basically a social media presence. More importantly, the smart ID…

NicoleSmart ID Tag customer

If you've been looking for a sign to finally get a smart pet tag, the Ramen design is your sign. It's funny and loveable on the collar, but the technology underneath is dead serious. Any smartphone, any time, no app required — just scan and see the full profile. The real-time notification to the owner's phone is the…

AlfieVerified buyerSmart ID Tag customer

no discolouration, no peeling, no QR code degradation. The digital profile update feature is something I use regularly as his vet visits happen, and the scan notification has already been triggered by a kind neighbour who found him in their front garden.

AlfieVerified buyerSmart ID Tag customer

The Ramen tag is genuinely one of the best conversation pieces I've ever put on a dog collar, and I've tried a lot of tags over the years. The design is specific enough that people recognise it immediately and immediately love it, which means more eyes on your pet — and more people who'd know to scan it if they ever…

Microchips are manditory for NSW council for the purpose of registration but are not always helpful for reuniting lost pets to owners, These avocado tags are what actually got Smell Bells and Arnold home the other week as the backyard gate was left ajar and the naughtians pushed it open it and ran off having the best…

Debbi J.Smart ID Tag customer

Such a cool little tag. Everyone comments on it when we’re out walking. Works exactly how it should and gives me peace of mind knowing my dog’s info is easy to access. Definitely recommend if you want something a bit different.

GoodAvoBoySmart ID Tag customer

Got this mainly for the look and ended up loving the functionality as well. It’s really simple to use and I like that I can update my dog’s details anytime. Plus it stands out on the collar which is a bonus.

Jenna T.Smart ID Tag customer

This one’s honestly my favourite just because it looks so good. The boba design is super cute but it actually works really well too. Easy to set up and scans straight away. Nice mix of fun and practical.

Jenna T.Smart ID Tag customer

Honestly impressed with this. Works exactly how it should and gives a bit of extra peace of mind. I tested the scan and it pulls up everything straight away. Looks good on the collar too — simple and practical

Sammy K.Smart ID Tag customer

Such a good idea for a dog tag. I like that you can just update the info anytime instead of replacing it. The “ask a vet” feature is a nice touch as well. It’s lightweight and my dog doesn’t even notice it. Definitely worth it.

Jenna T.Smart ID Tag customer

Really like this tag. Super simple but actually really useful. Took no time to set up and now all my dog’s info is there if anyone needs it. The black design looks clean too, not too flashy. Feels way more reliable than the old tags.

GoodAvoBoySmart ID Tag customer

Didn’t expect to like this as much as I do tbh. It’s super light and doesn’t jingle around, and I love that I can update details whenever I want. Feels a lot more modern than the usual dog tags.

Sammy K.Smart ID Tag customer

Absolutely love this tag. It’s such a simple idea but incredibly effective. I set it up in minutes, and now all my dog’s details are instantly accessible just by scanning the tag. No batteries, no charging — just works. Gives me real peace of mind knowing if my dog ever got lost, anyone could access his info straight…

Frequently asked questions

The tag, the free profile and shipping — explained before you buy.

Does this tag 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 the ASK A VET™ app?

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.
