HOW QR CODE TAG WORKS FOR PET OWNER:
In the event one loses a pet, the person who finds your missing pet scans your pet's tag and will see any contact info you've provided and they'll be able to return your missing pet. You receive an INSTANT EMAIL NOTIFICATION of when and where someone scanned your pet's QR tag. In some cases, the finder will also contact Pet Dwelling for help. So it is crucial for you to activate your tag to link your pet profile once you get the tag. In 2022, Pet Dwelling helped over 200 lost pets reunite with their owners.

Tap on it to open the link to your pet's profile and Allow Sharing Location when prompted. if you don't have your location service on, it might result in deviated location due to privacy law. We suggest you always have your location service ON when you are testing your scanned location. You can do the following to turn ON your share location service.
For iOS:
1. Turn on your "Location Service", "Share My Location".
2. Select "While Using the App" in ALLOW LOCATION ACCESS for your DEFAULT BROWSER(Safari, Chrome, Firefox), Enable your "Precise Location" for specific location.
3. "Share your Location" with Google Maps while using.
For Android:
1. Turn on “Location” on your phone: Setting > Location > On.
2. Enable “Location Services” for improved accuracy: Setting > Location > Location services > enable all accuracy options
Starting with iOS 11, the Camera app can also scan QR codes, and, in our opinion, it provides the most inaccurate location due to the privacy laws.
If the location function doesn’t work on your phone's Camera app, then you can download one of these QR code scanning apps.
