Tap-to-view profile. Built for the moment your pet slips out of the yard.
Toggle Lost. Anyone who scans sees a big red banner with reward and last-seen info. You get notified the moment they tap.

Upload a clear photo, breed, color, weight, microchip number, distinguishing marks — so finders confirm they have the right pet.

Reward note: If you offer a reward when your pet is reported lost, that reward is a legal commitment between you and the finder. Lochtags does not facilitate, hold, or guarantee reward payouts.
No. NFC is passive — the chip is powered by the phone's NFC reader when it's tapped. No batteries, no charging, no maintenance.
Most phones from the last 8 years read NFC tags by tapping — iPhone XR+ (iOS 14+) and most Androids. If your phone doesn't have NFC, no problem: every tag also has its unique code printed on it. Type that code into any browser at lochtags.com/p/<CODE> and you'll see the same profile.
They tap the tag, see your name, your phone, your vet's number, and a "Call owner" button. They can also leave a message that emails and texts you with their location attached.
You control it. Pet name, photo, vet info, allergies are public so finders can help. Your phone and email are toggleable — show them or keep them private and only allow the contact form.
Each tag is unique to one pet (so the URL maps to that pet's profile). Buy one tag per pet. Pro members can manage unlimited pets from one account.
If your pet ever runs off, the first minute matters most. Skip the engraved-tag-and-pray approach. Give every finder a one-tap way to reach you.
