About this product

A SeQR pet tag works like a normal collar tag, except thereโ€™s no phone number on it. Whoever finds your dog or cat points their phone camera at the code, and a page opens with your petโ€™s name and your note, a message box, and a button to share where they are. You reply straight away. Your number and address don't appear on the tag.

Itโ€™s small and light enough for a cat or a toy breed, and tough enough for a big dog that plays rough. It sits quietly on the collar: no metal-on-metal jingle, no scratched-off engraving. The code is sealed under acrylic, so it stays readable through rain, mud and years of rubbing against the ring.

Itโ€™s the same tag we sell for keys, on a steel split key ring that fits any collar or harness ring. Put the first one on the collar, the second on the harness, and the rest wherever youโ€™d hate to lose something: your keys, the leash, the carrier. Every tag has its own code and sits in one free account, where you name each one so you know which was scanned.

What's in the box

  • 2 Smart Pet Tags, each with its own code
  • 2 steel split key rings that fit any collar or harness ring
  • Lifetime access to private messaging

Most pet tags hand your phone number to whoever reads them.

An engraved tag works because anyone can read it. Thatโ€™s also the problem: your number, and sometimes your address, is on show to every stranger your pet meets. It jingles against the ring and the engraving wears smooth in a few years. A microchip keeps your details private, but only a vet or a shelter can read it.

A tag on the collar does nothing on the walk

Most dogs wear a harness outside and a collar at home. Tag both, and your pet is covered whichever one they slipped out in.

Microchips need a scanner

A chip only helps once your pet reaches a vet or a shelter. The neighbour who finds them in the street canโ€™t read it.

A phone number only works if you pick up

8 in 10 Americans donโ€™t answer calls from unknown numbers (Pew Research Center), and many phones silence them automatically. SeQR sends the finderโ€™s message to your texts, email and phone, so you see it.

SeQR is the private way to tag a collar, and a harness

Two tags for the pet, two for your keys, one account. Small, quiet and light enough for a cat. Whoever finds your pet scans the tag and messages you, and you see it by text, email and push alert. They don't see your name, number or address.

Choose your pack

One tag, many places

Pet tags and keychain tags are the same tag. Every one has its own code and its own name in one free account, so four tags look like this:

Your tags
  • Biscuitcollar
  • Biscuitharness
  • House keyskey hook
  • Car keysHonda

Rename any tag, change any note, see which one was scanned.

  • Collar and harness

    Where the first pair goes. Quiet, light enough for a cat, and your pet is covered at home and on the walk.

  • Your keys

    The same tag as our keychain pack. The split ring goes straight on your keys, and nothing on it says which door it opens.

  • Leash and carrier

    Everything that leaves the house with the dog. A stranger at the airport finds the carrier, not the collar.

  • Two pets

    Each tag has its own code and its own name, like โ€œBiscuitโ€ and โ€œLunaโ€.

  • The next collar

    Cat collars are designed to come off. A tag isnโ€™t assigned to anything until you scan it, so the spare one waits in the drawer.

  • Familyโ€™s bags and gear

    A backpack, a lunch bag, a bike. If it has a ring or a zipper pull, it can wear a tag.

How it works

If you can take a photo with your phone, you can use SeQR.

  1. Step 1

    Clip it to the collar and scan it once

    Attach the tag to your petโ€™s collar and point your phoneโ€™s camera at the code. Add your petโ€™s name and a short note, like โ€œFriendly, but nervous around traffic.โ€

  2. Step 2

    Someone finds your pet

    They scan the tag with any phone camera. A page opens with your note, a message box and a button to share where they are. No app, no account.

  3. Step 3

    You see it, wherever you are

    We alert you right away by text, email and push notification, so you see it even if your phone silences unknown callers. Your number and address stay hidden; you decide what to share and where to meet.

Questions and answers

Why two tags?

Because your pet wears more than one thing. A tag on the collar does nothing on the walk if they go out in a harness, and a catโ€™s breakaway collar is designed to come off. Tag the collar and the harness, then put the next two on your keys. Each tag has its own code and its own name in your account.

How do I customize my tag? Do I need to send my details when I order?

No. Thereโ€™s nothing to fill in when you order: every tag arrives blank and ready to set up, and you personalize it yourself once it arrives. Give it a name, like โ€œBiscuitโ€™s collarโ€, write the note a finder will see, and choose how youโ€™d like to be alerted. You can change any of it later, as often as you like.

How do I activate my tag?

Open your phoneโ€™s camera, point it at the code and tap the link that appears. Setup takes about 30 seconds in your phoneโ€™s browser. Use the camera app that came with your phone, not a third-party QR scanner app, so the setup page opens correctly. You donโ€™t need an app, but if youโ€™d like one, the SeQR app is at install.page/seqr. It isnโ€™t in the Apple App Store or Google Play, so install it from that link.

Can I put one on my keys or a bag?

Yes, and thatโ€™s what the 4-tag pack is for. Pet tags and keychain tags are the same tag; the steel split key ring goes on your keys, a zipper pull or a leash handle. Two for the pet, two for your keys.

What if I donโ€™t answer calls from numbers I donโ€™t know?

Youโ€™re not alone: 8 in 10 Americans say they donโ€™t answer calls from unknown numbers (Pew Research Center, 2020). Thatโ€™s why SeQR doesnโ€™t rely on a phone call. The finder sends a message, and you get it by text, email and push notification, whichever you turn on. You reply when you see it, and your number stays private.

Can I buy just one?

The pair is the only size. Nearly everyone needs the second tag within a month, for a harness, a new collar or a second pet, and two together cost less than buying one at a time.

Will it fit my dogโ€™s or catโ€™s collar?

Yes. The steel split key ring fits any standard collar or harness ring, including a catโ€™s breakaway collar. The tag is light enough for a cat or a toy breed, tough enough for big dogs that play rough, and it doesnโ€™t jingle against the ring.

How well does it hold up?

Very well. The code is sealed under acrylic rather than stamped on the surface, so it doesnโ€™t scratch or wear smooth the way engraving does, and it shrugs off rain, mud and years of rubbing against the collar ring. If one ever stops scanning within the first year, we replace it.

Does my pet need a microchip too?

A microchip is still worth having, since vets and shelters scan for it. The SeQR tag covers the moment a neighbour or passer-by finds your pet and wants to reach you on the spot.

What does the finder see?

Your petโ€™s name, the note you wrote, a message box and a button to share where they are. They don't see your name, number or address. Each tag shows its own name and note, so the collar tag and the harness tag can say different things.

Can I add things like โ€œneeds medicationโ€ or a sitterโ€™s details?

Yes. The note is yours to write and change anytime: your petโ€™s name, that theyโ€™re nervous with strangers, that they need medication, or who to contact while youโ€™re away.

How will I know if someone scans it?

Youโ€™ll get a message by email, text or phone notification, whichever you choose. You can reply right away, and the person who scanned it doesn't see your contact details.

Do I or the finder need an app?

No. You set up your tag in your phoneโ€™s web browser, and the finderโ€™s camera simply opens a web page with a message box. Nobody has to download anything. If youโ€™d like an app anyway, ours is at install.page/seqr (it isnโ€™t in the App Store or Google Play).

What does SeQR do with my information?

Your contact details are only used to deliver messages from people who scan your tags. We do not sell or share your information.

What if my phone number or email changes?

Nothing to replace. Update your details in your SeQR account and every tag you own follows. The code on the tag stays the same.

Does it work outside the US?

Yes, anywhere with internet. Scanning the tag opens a web page, so the finder doesnโ€™t need to make an international call or have a US number.

Is there a monthly fee?

No. You pay once for the tags, and messaging is included for life.
