How it works

Three steps. Then you never have to think about it again.

No vet appointment, no subscription for the basics. The tag works as soon as it hangs on the collar.

1

We engrave

Your pet’s name on the front, its personal QR code on the back — laser-engraved into a tough tag in our workshop in Höchst.

2

You clip it to the collar

No app, no charging, no battery. The tag lasts a pet’s whole life.

3

A finder reaches you

Point a phone camera at it, done. Through the secure relay — or by phone if you choose to show your number.

See it in action

From the open garden gate back to the sofa.

  1. Rex bolts out the open gate…
  2. You switch on Lost mode
  3. He’s lost, scared, all alone
  4. A kind stranger scans his tag
  5. They message you straight away — your e-mail stays hidden
  6. Reunited — happy tails again!

CareWith Care you also get: an alert on every scan in Lost mode — with the approximate area (from the finder’s network) and their exact GPS location if they choose to share it.

An honest comparison

Tag, chip or tracker?

Each has its place. The tag solves the most common case: your pet is found by a kind person nearby.

About Paw-Back
Wir haben die Paw-Back Anhänger für unsere zwei Hunde und sind mehr als zufrieden. Rasche Anfertigung, saubere Arbeit, qualitativ hochwertige Anhänger. Selbst die Verpackung war top. Man hat die Auswahl von der persönlichen Abholung oder man bekommt es zugesandt. Wir haben uns für die persönliche Abholung entschieden, wo sich Phil dann auch gleich die Zeit genommen hat uns die Homepage ausführlich zu erklären. Sehr kundenorientierter, sympathischer Inhaber.

Our engraving guarantee

Every tag is engraved in our workshop, then scanned and checked before it ships. If something is still wrong, we engrave a new one for free. Just write to us with a photo.

Applies if …
the engraving doesn’t match your order — e.g. a wrong letter in the name
the tag arrives damaged or has a material or manufacturing defect

Good to know: you can change the photo, contact details and lost mode online at any time — you never need a new tag for that. Only the name and the QR code are engraved.

How location works: you get the approximate area automatically (from the finder’s network), and the exact GPS location the moment the finder taps “Share my location”. It’s not live tracking — the tag has no battery or GPS chip.

FAQ

Good to know

Anything else? Write to us — we answer personally.

Is this a live GPS tracker?
No — and that’s on purpose. A live tracker shows location in real time, but needs charging, a monthly fee and is bulky. A Paw-Back tag is passive: when someone finds your pet and scans it, they reach you instantly and you get their location. No battery, no fee, works for life. Most lost pets are found by a person — the tag gets them home fast.
So when would I need a tracker instead?
If your pet is an escape artist and you want to actively hunt them down, a live tracker is the right tool. For the everyday “help whoever finds my pet bring it home”, the tag is simpler, cheaper and always on. Many owners keep a tag as their always-on baseline and add a tracker only if they truly need live tracking.
What happens when someone scans it?
They see your pet’s page — its name, a secure way to message you, and a “call owner” button if you enabled it. In Lost mode on a Care plan you also get an email alert: first the approximate area, then the finder’s exact GPS if they tap “Share location”.
Is my email or number shown?
Your email is never shown — messages come through a secure relay. Your name and a phone number appear only if you choose to.
Does it need an app or charging?
Never. It’s laser-engraved metal — no app, no battery, nothing to charge. It works for life.
I already have a microchip. Do I still need this?
They work together. A microchip needs a vet or shelter with a scanner, during opening hours. The QR tag works for anyone with a phone, instantly — so a friendly finder can bring your pet home the same minute.
What if something is wrong with the engraving?
Every tag is scanned and checked by us before it ships. If the engraving still differs from your order or the tag arrives damaged, we engrave a new one for free. Just write to us with a photo. And you can change the photo, contact details and lost mode online at any time — no new tag needed.

Give your pet the way home.
