PetHub ID Tag Arrived

A few weeks ago I wrote about a company giving away free Pet ID tags with QR codes on them, Pet Hub ID.  The ID tag has the pet's name and a website on one side and on the other side has a QR bar code on the other.  The QR barcode can be scanned using software that is available on many smart phones, based on other recommendations I use Neoreader there are others as well.  The URL and QR barcode point to a website that can be easily updated once a pet is lost and more contact information can be provided.

The ID tag is a generic black and is a good size, bigger than a quarter smaller than a half-dollar, and is laser etched on both sides.  Here is what Daisy looks like with her Pet Hub ID tag, it is small and you can't make it out but it was the best one handed shot I could get her to sit for!  There is also a picture of the site the QR code sends you too.

This is a quick video of my iPhone using Neoreader to read the QR code. The noise in the back of course is Daisy with her squeaky toy!
