Amazon-owned Ring is launching a new Pet Tag accessory designed to help reunite lost pets with their owners, the company announced Wednesday. The accessory essentially puts a QR code on your pet’s collar that can be scanned to help bring them home if they ever get lost.
Once scanned, a QR code notifies you that your pet’s lost tag has been scanned. Scanning the QR code will display information you’ve logged into your Pet Profile, such as health conditions, which will help someone who may find your pet best understand its immediate needs. your pet.

If you have opted in to the “Contact Me” feature through your pet’s Pet Profile, the person who finds your pet can contact you two-way to facilitate the return of your pet.
It is worth noting that the Pet Tag does not have any GPS features, so the accessory alone cannot be used to geolocate a lost pet. Instead, a Pet Tag replaces a pet collar that lists your personal information to contact whoever finds your pet. But, traditional pet collars can put your privacy at risk because they list your personal information. Pet Tag protects your number and other information. It also lets you provide additional information that normally wouldn’t fit on a standard pet collar, such as your pet’s health conditions.
The Pet Tag is available for preorder for $9.99 in the United States starting today on Ring.com and Amazon.com, and will begin shipping to customers on October 4.
