A lost pet QR tag that gets you contacted in seconds
Put an anonymous QR code on your dog or cat's collar. Anyone who finds them scans it with their phone camera and can message you instantly - your phone number is never shown.
How it works
From lost to found in four steps
Order your pet's QR tag
Pick the Wheelyst pet tag - a small, weatherproof QR code that clips onto any collar or harness. Add your pet's name, breed, and any medical notes you want a finder to see.
Clip it to the collar
The tag survives rain, mud, swimming and chewing. No batteries, no app to install on the tag itself - it's just a printed, laminated code.
A finder scans it
Anyone with a phone camera can scan the tag and see it's a lost/found pet page in seconds - no app download, works on any smartphone browser.
You get an instant alert
You're notified the moment someone scans, with their message and location if they choose to share it. You can message back and forth - all anonymously.
Why Wheelyst
Built for the worst 10 minutes of a pet owner's day
Your number stays private
Traditional pet tags print your phone number in the open. Wheelyst relays messages through the app instead - your contact details are never shown.
Instant scan alerts
The second your pet's tag is scanned, you get a push notification - so you know within seconds, not hours.
Location context
If the finder shares their location, you'll see roughly where your pet was found - useful when every minute matters.
Medical info on hand
Add allergies, medication or vet contact details that only show up if needed, so anyone caring for your pet in the meantime has what they need.
FAQ
Pet tag questions
01Will a QR tag work if my dog's collar gets wet or muddy?+
Yes. Wheelyst pet tags use weatherproof, laminated vinyl that's designed to survive rain, mud, swimming and regular collar wear - the same material we use on our vehicle stickers.
02Does the person who finds my pet need to download an app?+
No. Scanning the tag opens a page directly in their phone's browser - nothing to install. That's what makes it faster than a traditional tag with a phone number nobody picks up.
03Can I put my pet's medical information on the tag?+
Yes - you can add allergies, medications and vet contact details in your dashboard. You control exactly what a finder sees before and after they scan.
04What happens if my cat's tag falls off, or I lose the QR code?+
You can deactivate or reissue the code from your dashboard at any time, and order a replacement tag - your account and message history stay intact.
05Is this different from microchipping?+
It complements it. A microchip requires a vet or shelter to scan it with special equipment. A Wheelyst QR tag lets anyone with a phone contact you directly and immediately, without needing to bring your pet anywhere first.
