Build the perfect pet profile in 10 minutes

The more complete your pet's profile, the safer they are. Here's exactly what to include and why each detail matters.

Essentials

The essential information checklist

Start with these core details. They're the most important things a finder or carer needs.

  • Your phone number — the fastest way for a finder to reach you directly
  • A backup emergency contact — a partner, family member, or friend who can help if you're unreachable
  • Your home area — a general location (town or postcode area) so finders know roughly where your pet belongs
  • Pet's name, breed, age, and weight — helps identify your pet and provides useful context for vets
  • A recent, clear photo — a front-facing photo in good lighting makes identification instant
Medical

Medical and health details

Medications

List any ongoing medications with dosage and timing. If your pet misses a dose, a carer or finder needs to know what to tell the vet. Include the medication name, dose amount, and how often it's given.

Allergies and dietary needs

Note food allergies, environmental sensitivities, and dietary restrictions. If a well-meaning finder offers your dog chocolate or your cat cow's milk, this could prevent a trip to the emergency vet.

Behaviour

Behaviour and routine notes

Daily routine

Feeding times, walk schedules, and toilet habits help carers maintain your pet's normal routine. Pets are less stressed when their schedule stays consistent — especially when staying with a sitter or boarder.

Behaviour and triggers

Is your dog reactive to other dogs on lead? Does your cat hide when there are loud noises? Note any traits, triggers, or anxieties. This helps carers avoid stressful situations and keeps everyone safe.

Privacy

Privacy and visibility settings

ZoomiTag gives you full control over what different people see. When a stranger scans the tag, they see your pet's public profile — typically their name, photo, and a call button to reach you. They don't see your address, full name, or detailed medical records.

Authorised contacts like co-owners, family members, and regular carers can access the complete profile including medical history, vet details, and daily routines. You can add or remove authorised contacts any time from the app.

This layered approach gives your pet maximum protection while keeping your privacy intact.
