The Crumb Smart Tag is an aluminium tag about the size of a pound coin which features a QR code which can be scanned by anyone with a smartphone should you lose your pet. If the tag is scanned then the person scanning can choose to share their location and you will receive their GPS co-ordinates instantly making getting your pet back much easier. We tested this functionality and it worked perfectly - the person scanning the tag doesn't have to download an app, they are simply directed to a website and given the option to share their location. When the location was shared we received a text message almost instantly with a highly accurate location. If you are unlucky enough to lose your pet then Crumb will notify every vet, pet shelter and Crumb user within a 15 mile radius and if they find your pet they can notify you instantly via your pet's profile. Another interesting feature for dog owners is what they call 'Snout ID', a dog's nose print is as unique as a human fingerprint so Crumb allow you to add a photo of your dog's nose which they turn into a biometric fingerprint which is then stored in their database. If your dog is stolen and it's tag removed then any potential purchaser could scan your dog's nose and you would be notified and sent their location. Worn in addition to a traditional tag it is, however, an excellent product with many advantages over a traditional tag.

When a pet wearing a Crumb smart tag goes missing, alerts are immediately sent to every vet and rescue centre within 10 miles.
This is done in case your pet slips their collar or somehow loses their tag.
Even in the worst case scenario, every local vet and rescue center will know about your missing pet, just as if they scanned the tag.
According to their website, the tags have helped reunite over 3,000 pets in the U.K.
There’s no doubt in my mind that they’ve saved lives too.
Vets are calling the free tags “legitimately lifesaving”.
It was a FULL pet profile, including: Her name, breed and age Contact info for both owners A button to share her exact location with her owner Behaviour notes Medical and allergy information
This was potentially life-saving.
The medication she’s currently on – most likely to fight an infection We knew she was on Gentamicin & Tetracycline, so we knew to avoid certain other treatments.
And most importantly, we knew exactly who to call, so we could get her home as soon as possible.
If it isn’t obvious already – this was a game changer.
