RoadDog Smart Tag for Cats and Dogs.
Two ways for a finder to reach you — through the RoadDog app, or by scanning the QR on the tag with any phone. Either opens your pet’s private profile with breed, age, health, contact info, and a one-tap emergency button. No subscriptions.

How RoadDog works
Three steps. No app required for finders.
Attach
Clip the Smart Tag to your pet’s collar. It’s small, fully waterproof, and built for daily life on a collar.
Someone scans the tag
A finder opens the RoadDog app to scan for nearby tags, or points any phone camera at the QR on the tag. Both open your pet’s profile in seconds.
You’re notified instantly
The finder messages you securely, or taps the Emergency button to alert you immediately with their location.
What one scan reveals
Everything a finder — or a vet — needs to help your pet, in one tap.
Owner contact is private. Finders message you through a secure form — your email and phone are never shown.
The dog license, finally caught up.
The metal license dangling from your dog’s collar was invented before cars. Here’s what changes when it’s a RoadDog tag instead.
A number. And a phone call.
- ×Just a license number — nothing about your dog.
- ×Only useful if a finder is willing to call a stranger.
- ×City office is closed nights and weekends.
- ×Wears off, fades, falls off the ring.
- ×If your dog is hurt, the finder has no idea what to do.
A private profile. Reachable in seconds.
- ✓Two routes: the RoadDog app or scanning the QR with any phone.
- ✓Photo, breed, age, temperament, health notes at a tap.
- ✓Works 24/7. Day, night, weekend, holiday.
- ✓Waterproof, dust-tight, long battery life.
- ✓One-tap Emergency button alerts you instantly.
The two things that matter most
Here’s what makes RoadDog more than just a smarter license.
The app or the QR. Either works.
A finder with the RoadDog app can scan for nearby tags and tap to see your pet. A finder without the app can point any phone camera at the QR on the tag. Both routes open your pet’s private profile in seconds.
Compare that to a metal tag with your phone number on it: a finder has to be willing to call a stranger and play phone tag. With RoadDog, the profile is open and your inbox is one tap away.
One tap when seconds matter.
Right on your pet’s profile is a big Emergency button. If your dog is hurt, terrified, or somewhere they shouldn’t be, the finder taps it once. You get an instant alert — text, email, and push notification — with the finder’s location attached.
Most pet tags don’t do this. It’s the difference between “found a dog” and “found YOUR dog and they need you now.”
Why RoadDog
Beyond the QR and the emergency button, four more reasons we built this differently.
Privacy by design
Your email and phone are never shown publicly. Finders message you through a secure form. You decide what they see.
No subscription
Buy the tag once. No monthly fee, no annual fee, no auto-renewal. The app is free for everyone.
For dogs and cats
One product, two species. Same tag, same app, same profile system — works for both whether you have one of each or a small zoo.
Built to last
Fully waterproof (IP67) and dust-tight. Designed to live on a collar through every season.

The app is a bonus, not a requirement.
Finders don’t need the RoadDog app — the QR works on any phone. But the app adds extras for owners: live scan alerts, your pet’s dashboard in your pocket, and the ability to scan tags yourself (helping reunite other people’s dogs). It’s free.

Common questions
Does this replace my dog’s city license?
Eventually, we hope so. RoadDog is built to be the next-generation dog license — digital, modern, and far more useful than a metal disc with a number on it. For today, the legal license your city issues is still separate — keep both on the collar, side by side. Finders will use the RoadDog tag. (If you work in municipal licensing, see below.)
What if my pet never gets lost?
You only need this once. We hope you never do.
Will my contact info be public?
No. Finders message you through a secure form on your pet’s profile. Your email and phone are never displayed.
What if the finder doesn’t have the app?
They don’t need it. The QR on every tag works with any phone camera — no app, no account, no download required.
How big is the tag?
About the size of a poker chip — ~38mm wide, 6mm thin, around 10g. Light enough to live on a collar all day.
How long does the battery last?
We’re still finalizing the battery design — the goal is a year or more of life with low day-to-day fuss. Specs will be confirmed before launch.
What if I have more than one pet?
Each Smart Tag is per-pet, so each dog or cat needs its own. We offer a 2-pack at $49.99 (saves $19.99 vs. buying singles).
Do you ship internationally?
US only at launch. International shipping is on the roadmap.
What’s your return policy?
30-day returns for unused tags. If something arrives damaged or the tag stops working, we’ll replace it.
