About NFC tags

Waterproof tag with a microchip inside that you attach to your pet’s collar. If your pet is ever lost then anyone with a smart phone can scan the tag and contact you directly via information which was programmed onto the device enabling you to recover your beloved fur baby.

NFC tag is designed to address what’s lacking in a conventional tag: Secured. NFC tag has microchip. Information written on the chip cannot be altered. Non-intrusive. Conventional microchipping of animals require the injection of a microchip encapsulated in glass into the animal. NFC tag is attached without the need for needles, injections and implants. Visible & Convenient. With conventional microchipping, not only is it impossible to tell if an animal is microchipped but it is very inconvenient to bring the animal to a vet who has a specialised reader to identify the microchip. Secure and Confidential. The NFC tag owner’s details need to be stored for NFC tag recovery. NFC device stores this information securely in the microchip only, ensuring that the information remains confidential and accessible only when required. Readily available technology. Reading a conventional implanted microchip requires specialised readers – this deters recovery. NFC tags employ a technology that is widely available in any smart phone today, no software installation required. Costs. Tagging your fur baby with NFC tag will be significantly cheaper than paying local council fees and fines if your pet is taken to the pound.


Absolutely not! NFC tag is positioned to complement a microchip implant if there already is one. NFC tag can readily be scanned on smart phones whereas a microchip implant requires a specialised reader. Microchip number can be securely stored in NFC tag along with other important information that can be accessed by smart phones to facilitate recovery.

There is no subscription fee. You fully own the tag and all its’ functionality independent of us.

Typically we encode following information on each tag. Pet’s name, Owner’s name, Owner’s contact information (phone, email, home address). You can also store more details about your pet, such as medical information, special needs (if any) and microchip details.

NFC tag follows ISO protocol and encoding standards. You will be able to scan NFC tag on any NFC enabled smart phones. 

Current operating system of Android phones allows Android phone users just tap rear of phone against NFC tag to read stored information. Iphone users will need free NFC tools app to allow access to the stored information.

After scanning NFC tag with your smart phone, you should be able to see information encoded onto the chip.

No. GPS enabled tags are powered by batteries. Those batteries are toxic If accidentally swallowed by your pet. Therefore we chose not to offer GPS enabled tags in our product range.

Three major differences: You need specialised readers to read injected microchip (we use a smart phone) Injected microchips are not visible (ie you won’t know that the dog is chipped) You can decide what to store in our chip. You can’t do that for injected microchips.

Life spam of NFC tag (if not physically damaged) is 10+ years.

We offer 5 year replacement warranty for all our NFC tags. Warranty does not apply to physically damaged tags.
