PetHub Link ScruffTag Collar
PetHub has a very cool approach to smart ID tags with their Link ScruffTag Collar. Each collar comes with a unique web address and QR code that can be scanned with any smart phone. The way it works is simple! Someone finds your pet. First, they try the phone number and if you’re not answering, they can scan the collar with their phone or type in the web address listed on the tag. What shows up are any details you’ve chosen to enter about your pet, including other emergency contacts (spouse, neighbor, friend, vet, pet sitter, doggie daycare, etc.), important medications, dietary needs, and anything else you think someone rescuing your pet know. You can update your pet’s info on pethub.com (for free!) as often as needed to ensure your pet’s records are current.
This is truly revolutionary. We’ve personally helped out many strays, many of which, owners are out and about with no phone. We’ve even housed 2 dogs for a week once (owners were out of the country). Turned out the neighbor was suppose to watch them and feed them, but he too couldn’t get a hold of them.
With this tag, emergency contacts are a must! I am sure you can add information that would never fit in a traditional tag, especially if the dog requires a special diet or medication.
I think people with personal experiences in a lost dog situation can truly see how magnificent of a product this is, truly awesome!
And I thought it was unique and surprising that I saw a QR code on a book on CD at work! For lost dogs, this sounds like a fantastic idea. The collar isn’t so bad looking either
Glad you like it! We’re very excited about it and just won the Dog Fancy Editors’ Choice award (among others). If you’re interested, we’ve got a coupon code for $11 off our pet ID tags and collars: BARK11 (that’s two number ones on the end
Go to pethub.com/get-tagged to get a collar (like the one picture here) or a tag. Thanks! -Tom
Love seeing that people like what we’re doing here at PetHub.com. I’d like to also note that the collar featured here is actually manufactured by our partner, dogIDs.com. We offer a few options on our site at PetHub.com/get-tagged but dogIDs.com has more options utilizing our QR codes that come with the free Bronze data storage account.
Have fun and send us feedback so we can keep improving the site!

Hi I was just wondering if these are available in the UK as well? Seeing as they are such a brilliant idea!
