Lost pets get found faster when finding you is easy.
Clip a ShieldTag to the collar or harness. Anyone who finds your pet — a neighbor, a shelter, a stranger on a walk — scans it and reaches you directly, without a lost-pet flyer or a stranger seeing your number.

Best for a collar, harness, or carrier tag — any pet that goes outside a fenced yard.
How it works
- 1
Attach the tag
Clip or stick it to a collar, harness, or carrier tag. Any pet, any size, no batteries.
- 2
Someone finds them
A neighbor, a shelter, a stranger on a walk — anyone with a phone camera can scan the tag and send a message.

You get the message
It lands as a text. Reply if you want — your number stays hidden on both ends.
What's live today

Questions
Does the tag track my pet’s location?
No — ShieldTag has no GPS. It only works when a person finds your pet and scans the tag, which keeps it battery-free, affordable, and private.
Is my phone number ever visible?
No. Messages relay through ShieldTag in both directions — the finder never sees your number, and you never see theirs unless you reply.
What does it cost?
Anonymous messaging is free, forever. A physical tag is a one-time purchase from $6.99; paid plans add photos and more starting at $1.99/mo.
- ShieldTag has no GPS and does not track your pet’s location — it only relays a message when someone scans the tag.
- Not a substitute for a microchip or ID collar — it works alongside them, as another way to be reached.
