How does my PawPrintsID tag work?

Through the PawPrintsID website you are able to create an individual profile for each of your pets (which can be linked to 1 account). This profile includes important information about your pet. When your pet’s tag is scanned, your pet’s profile page is pulled up – without any need for special equipment or microchip readers. When this scan occurs, you instantly receive a text and email informing you that your pet’s tag has been scanned. If the phone that scanned the tag has their location services on, you will also see where the tag was scanned on a Google map. Within minutes you will be able to communicate with your pet’s rescuer for the return of your pet.

If the rescuer doesn’t have a smart phone, they can report a lost pet through our website or by calling our Free Call number.

My pet has been microchipped, why do I need this?

When a pet with a microchip is found, it is up the pet’s rescuer to get your pet to a local vet clinic or shelter so that the chip can be scanned. Then the chip manufacturer will be contacted, who in turn will contact you – and hopefully your contact details are up to date. This can be quite burdensome on the rescuer, and is usually a very time consuming endeavour, particularly if your pet is found on the weekend.

By having a PawPrintsID tag, your pet’s rescuer has 3 easy ways to get your lost pet found fast – scan the QR Code, go to the website or call the Free Call number. This makes it easier for the rescuer and a quicker result for you. We encourage owners to microchip their pets, but to understand that this is more a last resort, rather than a first line of defence.
