Can I make a free Pet ID for my dog or cat on Taproo?

Yes. Choose the free Pet ID template, add your pet’s photo and the contact details you want finders to see, then publish and share the QR code. You can edit your Taproo Pet ID later from your dashboard. No physical tag purchase is required.

How does a QR code Pet ID work?

A finder scans your pet’s Taproo QR code with a phone camera and opens the public Pet ID page with the contact options you have chosen to share. Keep those details up to date in your Taproo dashboard.

Do I need an NFC tag or a subscription?

No. You can create a free digital Pet ID in Taproo without buying a physical tag. House of Bo® QR and NFC pet tags are separate optional products, and their existing ConnectMyPet® activation process is not the same as creating a Taproo Pet ID.

Can I buy a House of Bo® pet tag through Taproo?

Yes. You can order the available metal QR or plastic NFC styles through Taproo checkout. House of Bo® tags are supplied with their own ConnectMyPet® activation instructions. Creating a Taproo Pet ID does not activate or reprogramme those physical tags.

What is the difference between QR and NFC pet tags?

A QR pet tag is scanned with a phone camera. An NFC tag is tapped with a compatible NFC-enabled phone. Check each product description for its supported technology: some styles use QR only and others NFC only.

Can I use my existing House of Bo® pet tag with a Taproo Pet ID?

Existing House of Bo® tags keep their original ConnectMyPet® finder links and activation. Your free Taproo Pet ID uses a separate QR code. Do not assume the existing tag points to your Taproo page.

Are these pet tags GPS trackers?

No. A QR code or NFC tag provides a way for a finder to open the linked page; it does not continuously track your pet’s location. Any location shared by a finder depends on their device and permissions.

Does a Pet ID replace a microchip?

No. A digital Pet ID or smart tag complements a registered microchip and any legally required physical identification. Keep microchip registration and your contact details current.
