Don't see how this is any improvement on printing your name/number on the dog tag.

Even if your dog/keys/toolbag/elephant is found, the finder will have to go out of their way to obtain your details. What if they don't have a smartphone or a phone with charge on them? What if Dorris (who found your dog) doesn't know what a QR code/NFC tag are? You'd be stuck!

Another company trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

I suppose this would work as a key finder or anything you can clip it too. not just pets.
Might get one for my tool bag.

Guessing you need to pay shipping? - Add title amended :smile:!! All good Thank OP

That's a clever idea.

what's this for?

Brilliant idea!

Well worth £3.99 if it works ordered

Yes just dont store your real address where the keys work lol, email and phone should be real though!

Dig out one of your old smart phones and install "find friends" or whatever it is, then tie that to the dog, might even be able to tell him/her to come home if accidentally got picked up. :smirk:

They also don't tell you very clearly after 12 months it's £10 per year subscription.

What kind of history has your IP picked up on lol


:wink:

Might be dogging. :-)


Still, most useless gizmo ever, it's an overly complex name tag that 75% of people who might find your dog won't know how to use.

Go to buy a tag, then click on "Tag Includes" - it's there.

Hate to be a pedant...but this isn't a tracker...it doesn't let you..."track" your pet at all.

It's not a horrible idea, but not a tracker.

I use a podtracker and loc8tor to actually track my cat...but both cost rather more than £4 :smiley:

In principle this is no different to the tag that Dogs Trust gave us "free" when we got our dog from them. That was a tag with a phone number and a serial number on it. First year was free but after that if you wanted to update your details you had to buy a subscription or pay for each update. Needless to say it went in the bin after the year was up, replaced by a tag that just has our phone number on it which cost < £5.

I thought as much :wink:


Useful for some, dog owners or not....might be useful for those with a pussy cat too :wink:

The video I just watched showed it using a QR code, not NFC...

Present for my 18 year old daughter sorted. I don't have to warn her about drinking responsibly anymore

​Easy, sandwich bag + 200mb Free data sim from Three.

And bet you didnt know there are apps could auto-answer calls. :sunglasses:

That's a great idea, I can identify the owner of a cat after its dog on my garden!!

​ :laughing: That is really funny.

Of course I did, I prefer blocking calls though :smile:



Doggie voyeurism - video calling, handy if you recognise the area only though, GPS would not track a running dog quick enough though lol

yet another gizmo I couldn't use anyway on my windows phone

I ordered one of these, came with a free keyring tag which is on my keys. Other smaller tag is on my dogs harness when we go out. One good advantage of this is there is not just a contact name & number to call, you can also give key points about your dog like vital information someone would need to know whilst getting the dog back to the owner. Mine also states "REWARD IF FOUND" to hope/ensure they bring my little one back to me.

No this doesn't "track" but when the person who finds the dog scans the barcode you get an immediate text/email with the information and location - So you can kind of track where your dog was found etc.

I might even get another to attach to my son's comforter!

I pressed get deal and it's coming up 9.99, how do I get it free and just pay postage? Thanks

Hi
I just pressed to get the deal but says 9.99 plus postage, how do I get it for free and just pay postage? Thanks

http://www.pawtrack.com might be useful to some of you cat owners looking for actual tracking services. We use it.

Apple are missing a trick here with an iDog solution :man:

I'll get my coat................

Apple is the dog....please o2....keep trying


lol

This is a follow on from the 'justice for Chunky' campaign petition, which was rejected. :disappointed:

Why not just buy some nfc tags and put contact details on there?? You can write whatever you want on them, surely that's all this is but with added third party.

Unless you supported the petition I don't think you should be claiming this freebie.

would this eork on humans lol

Talk about being PC :smile:

SOUNDS BEASTLY TO ME

This is not a freebie...it's £4.

Its also pointless as all dogs now have to be chipped by law or face a fine.

I have an NFC model, but like many of the posts on here, smartwatches/banking apps etc, they only come with ios/android apps.

Anyone with NFC mobile can still read the chip, just the finders scanned location is not available as no WP app I would assume

I didn't realise that was rejected ( i always sign / share these ) . The scum that did that should have been hung . Bring back capital punishment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


On a lighter note - Heat added for deal .

Wow that's amazing... its like a dog tag just with a lot more hassel! Let's just hope the person who finds your dog is computer savvy. As other wise they will be tapping the tag waiting for a ginnie to pop out... I'll stick with my normal dog tag with a phone number on it.

liked for the scum capital punishment

Yes, I've just signed another two today, tried to add links but my posts are being removed for some reason.
