Free FidoAlert pet ID tag with a QR code
The short answer
FidoAlert mails US pet owners a free ID tag engraved with their pet's name, a Tabby ID and a QR code. It costs nothing, postage included, and signing up adds your pet to FidoAlert's lost-pet alert network.
What you get
A customized pet tag, engraved with your pet's name, a unique Tabby ID and a QR code. The tag is tied to a free alert service. If your pet goes missing, FidoAlert texts a digital flier with your pet's photo to every member of its alert network within a few miles of where your pet was lost. The service was called TabbyAlert until recently, which is why the ID still carries the Tabby name. FidoAlert pays to make the tags and to mail them, so there is nothing to buy and no shipping charge.
Who it is for
Dog and cat owners in the United States. FidoAlert says the service is free to all pet owners in the US, and its page speaks to both dog and cat owners. You sign up with a mobile number, and lost-pet alerts go out by text, so you need a phone that can receive texts.

- Press the sign-up button and log in with your mobile number.
- Add your pet's details and your emergency contacts.
