Frequently asked questions
Have questions about our QR pet collars, our mission, or pet safety? You're in the right place! We've compiled answers to the most common inquiries to help you understand how VagoPets works and how we're making a difference for pets and their owners.
How do VagoPets QR collars work?
Our QR pet collars provide an instant connection to your pet's vital information. When someone finds your lost pet and scans the unique QR code on the collar, they are immediately directed to a secure webpage with your pet's profile. This profile, managed by you, contains contact details, medical information, and instructions for safe return, allowing for a quick reunion without needing special apps.
What if someone doesn't trust scanning the QR code?
We understand concerns about scanning unknown QR codes. Our system is designed with security in mind. The scanner is directed to a secure webpage with only the necessary information for returning your pet. We encourage Good Samaritans to help by scanning, but the system is intuitive and clear about its purpose. Additionally, our collars provide a clear visual cue that the pet is loved and has an owner actively seeking its return.
What's the difference between a QR code collar and a tracking device?
A QR code collar provides a digital ID that helps anyone who finds your pet quickly access your contact information. It relies on someone scanning the code. A tracking device (like GPS trackers) actively transmits your pet's location, allowing you to track them in real-time. Our QR collars are a cost-effective and efficient way to provide instant contact details, complementing microchips and tracking devices for comprehensive pet safety.
How does the QR collar work with the VagoPets website?
Each VagoPets QR collar is linked to a unique pet profile on our website, [[website]]. When you purchase a collar, you'll register and create a detailed profile for your pet. This profile is where you store your contact information, pet's name, breed, medical needs, and any other helpful details. When the QR code is scanned, it pulls up this profile, enabling the finder to quickly contact you. You can update your pet's profile anytime, ensuring information is always current.
What makes VagoPets different?
VagoPets stands out through its commitment to simple, effective, and accessible pet safety. We combine durable, high-quality pet accessories with cutting-edge QR technology to offer an immediate connection for lost pets. Our focus is on empowering pet owners with control over their pet's profile, promoting community involvement in pet return, and striving to make every lost pet story a reunion story.
What will VagoPets do for the communities?
VagoPets is passionate about giving back. We plan to actively support local animal shelters and pet rescue organizations, as well as local churches in Lake Worth, Florida, and beyond. Through partnerships, donations, and awareness campaigns, we aim to contribute to community initiatives that promote responsible pet ownership, pet adoption, and animal welfare. Our goal is to make a positive impact, one pet at a time.
What happens if someone doesn't return the pet if they find them?
While the vast majority of people who find a lost pet are Good Samaritans looking to help, there are rare instances where a pet might not be immediately returned. Our QR system provides your contact information, but in such cases, having your pet microchipped and registered with a national database is crucial. The QR collar acts as an initial rapid identification tool, significantly increasing the chances of a quick, safe return.
Keep your pet's collar on at all times, even indoors.
Even indoor pets can slip out unexpectedly. A collar with ID, especially a VagoPets QR collar, ensures that if they do get outside, they have an immediate way to be identified and returned. It's a simple step that provides continuous protection.
Make sure you keep the information on your pet updated.
Life changes, and so can your contact details. Always ensure your pet's profile on the VagoPets website is current. An outdated phone number or address can delay a reunion, so a quick check now and then is vital.
Add an emergency contact in case the primary owner can't be reached.
Including an emergency contact on your pet's VagoPets profile provides an additional layer of security. If you're unreachable, a trusted friend or family member can be contacted, ensuring your pet's journey home is as smooth as possible.
Use clear, recent photos of your pet.
A clear, recent photo on your pet's VagoPets profile helps finders confirm the identity of the pet they've found. It makes the reunion process quicker and provides reassurance to both the finder and you.
Don't just rely on the QR code for ID; make sure your pet is microchipped.
While our QR collars are incredibly effective, a microchip offers permanent identification that cannot be lost or removed. It's a vital backup. Combine a VagoPets QR collar with a microchip for the best possible chance of reunion.
Stay calm and act quickly if your pet is lost.
If your pet goes missing, try to stay calm. Immediately update their VagoPets profile if any information needs changing. Post on local social media groups, such as Nextdoor or local lost pet pages, informing your neighbors that your pet is lost and wearing a VagoPets QR collar for easy identification. The quicker you act, the higher the chances of a fast reunion.
