The state of the art BuddyBadge is a QR code dog collar tag that provides peace of mind. If your dog or cat is lost, the person who finds your pet can easily scan the QR pet tag with their phone. If the finder chooses to allow their location services to be visible, they can immediately contact you with their location. Since there is no need for a microchip scanner, you will save time and be reunited with your pet faster. This means no shelter fees for you, and less stress for your pet. In addition to providing your pet's contact information, the BuddyBadge features an About This Pet section, where you can list medical, behavioral or veterinarian information. When the QR code is scanned the finder of the pet can then see the information listed. In the About This Pet Section you can also list information about any upcoming vet appointments, vaccinations, and any other information you choose, including when it's time for your pet's heartworm or flea and tick preventative. Easily update your pet's information anytime by simply scanning the QR pet tag and then logging into your account. For pets already microchipped with a BuddyID microchip or with another microchip brand, you can link your BuddyBadge to your pet's current microchip number. No need to insert another microchip in your pet. Easily link the Buddy Badge QR collar tag to a lifetime BuddyID registration using your pet's current microchip number. The BuddyBadge can be purchased individually, but to be activated, it must be linked with a new or existing BuddyID microchip registration.
