How to Get Free Pet ID Tags & Build a Simple Pet Safety Kit

Choose a Free ID Tag for Your Dog or Cat

• Crumb QR smart tag: Create a profile for your dog or cat that a finder can open by scanning the tag. The tag and basic profile are free; shipping costs extra, and Premium features require an optional subscription.
• FidoAlert dog ID tag: Register your dog for a free personalized tag with a unique ID and QR code. The lost-pet network lets you send an alert to nearby members if your dog goes missing.
• TabbyAlert cat ID tag: The cat-focused option includes a free personalized QR tag and access to the alert network. You and your emergency contacts can be notified when your cat is reported found.

Add Free Rescue Stickers for Your Home

The ASPCA Pet Safety Pack includes window and door stickers to alert emergency responders that pets may be inside, plus an Animal Poison Control contact magnet.

Complete the mailing form to request yours and allow about six to eight weeks for delivery. Place a sticker on or near your front door and keep the number of pets listed on it current.

Put Your Pet Safety Kit Together

Once the tag arrives, a few practical steps make it more useful:

• Finish the profile. Add a recent photo and current phone number, activate the tag and test its QR code with another phone.
• Add a backup contact. FidoAlert and TabbyAlert let you include someone who can respond if you miss an alert.
• Keep essentials handy. Put copies of vaccination records and your veterinarian’s details together, with an extra leash or carrier ready to use.
