Did you know that, according to Petfinder.com, one in three pets will get lost from their owners during their lifetime? The veterinary team at Animal Medical Center in Foley, Alabama, understands how devastating and worrisome that could be to most pet owners, which is why they carry Smart Tags in their pet supplies department.

FAQs About Smart Tags

What Are Smart Tags?

Smart Tags are state-approved aluminum ID tags that include digital information if a cat or dog is ever lost and found. A QR code on the back of their rabies tag can be scanned by a smartphone, giving the finder access to the owner’s name, location, veterinarian, and phone number. Some Smart Tags feature a GPS option, so once a pet is found and their tag is scanned, the owner automatically receives a text message or email alert with the location where the pet was found.

Why Should I Invest In One?

Smart Tags get pets home faster. Regular microchips are good, but they don’t have the same digital features as Smart Tags. Microchips must be scanned by a veterinarian for the pet’s information to be obtained. Then, the owner has to wait for the chip’s provider to contact them with their pet’s whereabouts. Smart Tags can be scanned instantly by anyone with a smartphone and your pet’s information will appear.
