UK dog owners can now get smart pet tags for free by ordering them online.
After videos of the free tags went viral on Facebook and Instagram, responsible dog owners are advised to order soon before the organisation behind them completely runs out.
Here’s what you need to know…
The tags are made by Crumb, a tech organisation dedicated to pet safety products.
They’re waterproof, scratch-proof and work with any smartphone (iPhone or Android).
I’ll be honest… When I first saw the smart pet tag, I had no idea what it was…
It had a big QR code and the words “I’M LOST! SCAN ME”, so I pulled out my iPhone and did just that.
When the page finished loading, I was amazed.
It was a FULL pet profile, including:
This was potentially life-saving.
We knew she was on Gentamicin & Tetracycline, so we knew to avoid certain other treatments.
And most importantly, we knew exactly who to call, so we could get her home as soon as possible.
If it isn’t obvious already – this was a game changer.
Vet / Rescue Center Alerts
When a pet wearing a Crumb smart tag goes missing, alerts are immediately sent to every vet and rescue centre within 10 miles.
This is done in case your pet slips their collar or somehow loses their tag.
Even in the worst case scenario, every local vet and rescue center will know about your missing pet, just as if they scanned the tag.
Location Texts
When a Crumb smart tag is scanned and location shared, the owner will immediately receive a text with the pet’s exact GPS location.
We didn’t realise at the time, but because of this, Lexi’s owner was already on the way by the time we called.
As of October 22nd 2024, the tags are currently free to order on their website.
Every responsible dog owner in Britain should take advantage while they still can, even if their dog is 100% healthy and perfectly well-trained.

Even if your dog is perfectly behaved and never off lead, freak incidents happen.
All it takes is one loud noise, a deer, a hyper dog running up, and your dog can slip their collar or pull away from you.
God forbid, if that ever happens, you’ll be very glad they have a Crumb smart tag.
Yes, the tags are small (about the same size as a one pound coin) so they’ll fit comfortably on any cat or dog.
In case you missed it above, Crumb tags are free. Here’s how to get one:

Since finding the Crumb tag on Lexi the Cocker, I’ve been telling every single owner who will listen to get one.
Not just for the vet’s sake, or the owner’s peace of mind, but for their dog’s wellbeing.
According to their website, the tags have helped reunite over 3,000 pets in the U.K.
There’s no doubt in my mind that they’ve saved lives too.
As of October 2024 Crumb tags are still free to order. UK owners can order 1 tag per pet (for a maximum of 5 pets) and the only cost is shipping.
Every tag has the online pet profile enabled so tag can be scanned and the information on the profile can be edited at any time.
To access all the other features like Location Alerts, Vet/Shelter notifcations and more, there is a small monthly fee of £4.95 to keep the service running.
If you have multiple tags, you can upgrade to Premium Plus, which is £6.95 per month. That works out at less than £1.40 per month if you have 5 dogs.
