When it comes to keeping your dog safe, a pet ID tag is one of the simplest and most effective things you can do. But with both Classic Pet ID Tags and QR Smart Pet ID Tags available, which one should you choose? Here's a straightforward comparison to help you decide.

Classic Pet ID Tags

Classic tags are the traditional option — a beautifully designed tag with your dog's name and your contact number engraved or printed on the back. They're simple, reliable, and don't require any technology to read. Anyone who picks up your dog can immediately see who to call.

Dogsy & Co's Classic Pet ID Tags come in a huge range of designs including tropical, botanical, retro, geometric, and fun patterns — so your dog's tag can be as unique as they are.

QR Smart Pet ID Tags

QR tags take identification to the next level. The front features the same stylish designs, but the back has a scannable QR code. When scanned with any smartphone, it opens a secure profile page with your dog's details — multiple phone numbers, address, vet info, medical needs, and a photo.

The biggest advantage? You can update the information anytime without buying a new tag. Moved house? Changed vet? Just update the online profile.

So Which Should You Choose?

Both options keep your dog safer. Classic tags are perfect if you want something simple and no-fuss. QR tags are ideal if you want to store more information, have multiple emergency contacts, or want the flexibility to update details without replacing the tag. Many dog owners choose one of each — a classic on the collar and a QR tag on the harness.

Whatever you choose, the most important thing is that your dog wears one. Browse Classic Tags and QR Smart Tags at Dogsy & Co.
