Add another way for a finder to reach you.
A smart QR pet tag can link a finder to contact and care information you choose to share. Crumb says its tag can also alert you when it is scanned. It is an extra safeguard—not a replacement for an up-to-date microchip or the legally required collar tag showing the owner’s name and address.
