Create a QR Code for Your Pet Tag

Yes, completely free with no signup or limits. Create QR codes for all your pets—dogs, cats, or any animal. Download and print on pet tag materials or order custom QR code tags from pet tag companies.

Create a Google Doc with your name, phone, email, address, and dog's info (name, breed, medical needs). Set it to 'Anyone with the link'. Copy the link, paste it in our generator, download the QR code, and print it on a waterproof tag or order a custom QR tag.

Yes! QR code tags can reunite lost pets 3x faster than traditional tags. Finders scan the code to instantly see all your contact info, your pet's photo, and medical needs—no need to squint at tiny engraved text. 90% of properly tagged pets are returned.

Essential: Your name, phone number (multiple if possible), email, and pet's name. Helpful: Address, alternate contact, pet's photo, medical conditions, medications, allergies, vet contact, and microchip number. The more info, the better for emergencies.

Yes! This is the huge advantage of QR codes. Use a Google Doc or pet profile service as your link destination. You can edit the content anytime (new phone, new address) and the QR code stays valid forever.

They're complementary, not replacements. Microchips require a scanner (vets, shelters have them). QR codes work with any smartphone instantly—anyone who finds your pet can scan immediately. Best practice: Use both for maximum protection.

Include traditional engraved info (pet name + phone) on the other side of the tag as a backup. Most people have smartphones now, but dual tags (QR + engraved) provide the best coverage for all scenarios.

Yes, as long as the code is still visible. Use waterproof, durable materials (stainless steel, epoxy-coated, silicone). Many companies sell pet tags specifically designed for QR codes that withstand water, dirt, and wear. Test scanning while wet.

It's a personal choice. Your address helps return your pet directly home, but some owners prefer not to share their address publicly. At minimum, include phone and email. Consider adding a nearby landmark or neighborhood instead of exact address.

Absolutely! Services like PawBoost, Finding Rover, PetHub, and Petcolove offer free pet profiles designed for lost pets. They include space for photos, medical info, and multiple contacts. Some even send alerts when your QR code is scanned.

Many online retailers sell customizable QR code pet tags: Amazon, Etsy, Chewy, and specialty pet ID tag companies. Or print our QR code on waterproof paper and laminate it, then attach to collar. Custom engraved QR tags are most durable.

No, create separate QR codes for each pet with their specific information. Each pet needs their own profile with their name, photo, and individual medical details. This ensures accurate identification if one gets lost.

That's fine! They'll just see your contact info and pet details. Some pet parents add a note like 'If you found this pet, please call immediately'. Scanning won't cause any issues—it's just information display.

Yes! Include your vet's name, phone, and address. If your pet is injured or has medical needs, finders can contact your vet directly for medical history and instructions. This can be critical in emergencies.

Test it monthly to ensure it still scans properly and the link is active. Update the information whenever you move, change phone numbers, or if your pet's medical needs change. Regular testing ensures it works when you need it most.
