Rated the best QR pet tag by pet owners!
Amanda
I love there's no subscription. It looks good and when I tested it, it's accurate in location, and it sent me an email to tell me to login, to see where my dog was. I'm impressed. Great price too. I've recommended to a few friends!
Amanda Gabler
Great product! Easy to use. Works well. Good value for money.
Andrew Paul Kenyon
I hope I don’t have to use it but if I do then I’ll know just how good it is ! Any really remarks how good it is until we have to use it.
Anne
My items arrived really fast and were super easy to set up. No monthly subscriptions which I found on other sites. Can put lots of information on your and/or your pets profile and you get an email when someone scans the tags and from what location. Not exact but the town it was scanned etc. Really pleased with these and have told my friends and family about these as they're such a good idea. I am currently moving quite a lot so easy for me to now change info etc

I’ve just bought two tags for my dogs. Initially I couldn’t get them to work. I went on to the live chat section expecting to chat with a bot !! Instead I had a very helpful person who got them working in no time (my error not the tags). Love the tags and the fact you can update addresses and put lots of helpful info about your dog on the. I especially like that you get an email when someone has scanned the tag and a location. I’ve been recommending them to my friends.
Carly Kidd
PawID have given us the peace of mind that if we ever lost our dog he would be safe. We are thrilled with his new tag. We have trialed this by scanning the tag and we got all the notifications needed. Thank you so much for keeping Nacho safe and giving us some peace of mind.
Catherine
Quick and easy ordering and easy to add information online
Catherine Veevers
Quick efficency from ordering to delivery
Claudia Dove
Easy to purchase (one time payment no membership), fast delivery and super easy to set up. Although I hope I never have to use it, the profile is easy to view and you get an instant email saying it’s been scanned and the location. I only wish I could personalise it and put my dogs name on the actual tag.
Cleanastic
My dog loves it. Easy to use and gives me a piece of mind.

Ordered replacement tag as our dog had lost our original one. Had a problem with the transferring of our details onto new tag. Contacted them via email and within five minutes Dom came back and said he would sort it out and a couple of hours later he confirmed it was all set. Great product and excellent customer service.

Good very good better than just micro chipping as anyone can get your details.
Nicola Kemp
Great service and great product, and super easy to set up.
Paul Strickland
Very simple process - order a tag in the colour you want, get it fast and then fill in the details of your dog. Couldn't be easier.
Paul Strickland
Very straightforward to set up and enter all my pet's details. And then that's it, hopefully I'll never need to think any more about it!
PJ
Received next day and set up within minutes. I feel just that little bit more confident that the best and furriest member of our family will be kept safe.
Segolenne Roux
The package didn’t arrive but they immediately sent a new one. The app also didn’t allow international address and Pawid even changed their platform to allow us to add an international address in record time. Would highly recommend.
Tracy Otley
It’s peace of mind knowing that having a microchip and a tag that scans is great, to help keep your dog even more traceable if ever lost. Thank you, Tracy and Winnie 🐶🐾

Great and easy to set up much better than a stamped tag.

Online Digital Pet Profile
Every Paw ID digital pet tag comes with a secure online pet profile where you can store all the important details about your pet in one place. From their name, age, and breed to medical history, allergies, behaviour notes, microchip number and vet information, everything is easily accessible. When someone scans your pet’s QR tag, they’ll only see the details you’ve chosen to share, helping them act quickly and responsibly if your pet is found. This makes your Paw ID tag far more versatile and effective than a standard engraved tag.
Add Multiple Contact Details
Make sure your pet can always find their way home by adding the contact details of family, friends, neighbours, or your vet. Free members can store up to 2 contacts, while Premium subscribers can add unlimited contacts for complete peace of mind. Each person you add will automatically receive a real-time email notification whenever your pet’s tag is scanned, so everyone stays informed instantly. You’re also in full control of privacy. Choose which details to display publicly and keep the rest hidden, while still allowing finders to contact you securely through Paw ID.
Instant Email and SMS Notification
Whenever your pet’s tag is scanned, you’ll receive an instant email alert, showing you exactly when and where the scan took place. Premium members also get real-time SMS notifications for even faster updates. Whether you’re at work, travelling, or simply away from home, you’ll know immediately when someone has found your pet. These smart alerts make Paw ID a next-generation solution designed to reunite pets and their owners as quickly and safely as possible.
Vet and Shelter Notifications
If your pet ever goes missing, Paw ID can instantly notify local vets and animal shelters with your pet’s complete profile, including their photo, name, medical requirements and your contact details. This ensures professionals have all the information they need to help bring your furry friend home quickly and safely.
Privacy Mode
Unlike traditional pet tags, our QR code tags give you full control over your privacy. You can choose to hide sensitive information such as your pet's name, your phone number or address, while still allowing anyone who finds your pet to contact you securely via our online form. This means your digital pet tag keeps your personal details protected, while ensuring you remain easily reachable in an emergency, giving you total peace of mind.
Upload Important Documents and Set Expiry Reminders
With Paw ID Premium you can keep all your pet’s essential paperwork organised and accessible in one secure place. Upload documents such as vaccination records, insurance policies, medical certificates, adoption papers, or any other important files directly to your pet’s profile.
To help you stay on top of your pet’s care, you can also set expiry reminders for each document. Whether it’s a vaccination due date, insurance renewal, or a routine vet check-up, Paw ID will send you a timely notification before anything expires or needs updating.
Create and Organise your Pet’s Gallery
With Paw ID, you can build a personalised gallery to showcase your pet’s best moments. Upload photos to celebrate their adventures, milestones, or simply capture their unique personality.
You can organise images into folders and choose whether each picture is public or private, giving you complete control over what you share. Public photos can be seen by anyone who scans your pet’s QR tag, helping them quickly identify your pet if they’re found.
Premium members enjoy unlimited uploads and private albums, while all users can keep a selection of favourite photos visible on their pet’s profile.
From their very first day home to their latest trip to the park, your pet’s gallery is the perfect way to keep memories safe, organised, and easy to share.
