When you choose a Paw ID QR Code Pet Tag, you're already taking an important step towards keeping your pet safe.
Unlike traditional pet tags that are limited to a small amount of engraved text, Paw ID allows anyone who finds your pet to scan their unique QR code and instantly access a secure digital pet profile. From contact details and medical information to photos and emergency contacts, Paw ID helps reunite lost pets with their owners quickly and safely.
But before we talk about Premium, let's clear up one of the biggest questions we get asked.
Does Paw ID Require a Subscription?
No.
Paw ID works perfectly without a subscription.
Every Paw ID tag includes access to our free Basic membership, which gives you everything you need to create and manage your pet's profile.
With the free membership you can:
- Create your pet's digital profile
- Add contact information
- Receive real-time email notifications when the QR code is scanned
- View scan history and locations
- Upload photos
- Create lost pet flyers
- Notify nearby Paw ID users if your pet goes missing
- Access half-price replacement tags
Once you've purchased your tag, you can continue using these features completely free of charge.
There are no mandatory monthly fees and no requirement to upgrade.

So What Is Paw ID Premium?
Paw ID Premium is an optional upgrade designed for pet owners who want additional features, enhanced convenience and even greater peace of mind.
Think of it as adding extra protection and flexibility to an already powerful pet safety platform.
Premium unlocks additional tools that can make managing your pets easier, especially for households with multiple pets or multiple family members involved in their care.
One Subscription Covers Your Entire Account
One of the biggest benefits of Paw ID Premium is its simple pricing.
Unlike many pet services that charge per pet, per tracker or per device, Paw ID Premium is charged per account.
That means whether you have:
- One dog
- Two cats
- Three dogs
- A mix of pets
You'll pay exactly the same amount.
Premium costs:
- £3.99 per month
- £29.99 per year
And that covers every Paw ID tag and pet profile linked to your account.
There are no additional subscription charges for extra pets and no need to purchase separate Premium memberships for each tag.
As your pet family grows, your subscription stays the same.
For multi-pet households, this can provide exceptional value.
Share Pet Profiles with Family Members
Pets are often cared for by more than one person.
Whether it's a partner, spouse, parent, child, dog walker or pet sitter, there are usually several people involved in looking after a beloved pet.
With Paw ID Premium, you can securely share your pet profiles with family members and trusted carers.
Each invited user receives their own login account and can access shared pet profiles without needing their own Premium subscription.
This means:
- No password sharing
- Better account security
- Easier profile management
- Multiple people can help update pet information
- Family members can access important details if a pet goes missing
For busy households, this can be one of the most useful Premium features available.
Real-Time SMS Notifications
Every Paw ID account receives email notifications when a pet's QR code is scanned.
Premium members can also receive instant SMS notifications directly to their mobile phone.
When a lost pet has been found, every minute matters.
An SMS alert can help ensure you see the notification immediately, even if you're away from your email inbox.
Combined with Paw ID's scan history and location tracking, this gives you the fastest possible awareness when someone has found your pet.
Unlimited Photos and Private Galleries
Photos can play an important role in identifying and recovering lost pets.
Premium members can upload unlimited images and organise them into folders.
You can also choose which images are visible to the public and which remain private.
This allows you to:
- Store additional identification photos
- Keep personal memories private
- Create organised photo collections
- Maintain a complete visual history of your pet
Having access to multiple images can be particularly useful if your pet ever goes missing, as it provides additional reference points to help identify them.
Unlimited Contact Details
Life changes.
You may want your partner, parents, neighbours, pet sitter or dog walker to be contactable if your pet is found.
Premium allows you to add unlimited contact details to your pet profiles.
You remain in complete control of what information is publicly displayed and can hide sensitive information if you prefer.
Even when details are hidden, finders can still contact you securely through Paw ID's built-in contact form, helping protect your privacy while ensuring communication remains possible.
Free Unlimited Replacement Tags
Collars break.
Tags can become damaged.
Sometimes they simply get lost.
Premium members receive free unlimited replacement tags, helping ensure your pet is never without protection.
Ordering a replacement is simple through your Paw ID account. Once your replacement arrives, it will already be linked to the correct pet profile and ready to use straight away.

Exclusive Partner Discounts
Premium membership also provides access to discounts and special offers from selected pet-related businesses and services.
As our network of partners continues to grow, Premium members will gain access to an expanding range of benefits and savings.
Premium Member Badge
Premium members receive a Premium badge displayed on their pet profiles.
While it's a simple feature, it helps indicate that a profile is actively managed and maintained, providing additional reassurance for anyone who scans your pet's tag.
Who Is Premium Best Suited For?
Premium can be particularly valuable if:
- You own multiple pets
- Several family members help care for your pets
- You want SMS notifications as well as email alerts
- You would like unlimited photo storage
- You need unlimited contact details
- You want free replacement tags
- You enjoy additional member benefits and discounts
For many pet owners, the free Basic membership will provide everything they need.
That's exactly how Paw ID was designed.
Premium isn't required to use Paw ID and never will be.
Instead, it exists for owners who want additional tools and extra peace of mind.
Basic vs Premium: Which Should You Choose?
If you're looking for a simple and effective way to protect your pet, the free Basic membership included with every Paw ID tag is a fantastic solution.
If you'd like additional features such as SMS notifications, family account sharing, unlimited contacts, unlimited photos and free replacement tags, then Premium may be the perfect upgrade.
The choice is entirely yours.
There is no pressure to subscribe, no hidden fees and no restrictions on using your Paw ID tag if you decide not to upgrade.
Protect Your Pets Your Way
At Paw ID, we believe pet safety should be accessible to everyone.
That's why every QR Code Pet Tag includes a free membership with powerful features that help reunite lost pets with their owners.
For those who want even more functionality, flexibility and convenience, Premium offers an affordable optional upgrade that covers your entire account for just £3.99 per month or £29.99 per year.
Whether you choose Basic or Premium, you'll be giving your pet a smarter, safer and more modern form of identification.
