Why Your Pet Needs a Pawtag 

A Pawtag could save your pet’s life.
Microchips are important—but they’re not foolproof. Chips can migrate, scanners don’t always pick them up, and many pets in New Zealand aren’t even registered with the New Zealand Companion Animal Register. That’s why every pet should wear a visible ID tag.

If your furry friend gets out—whether it’s an earthquake, a natural disaster, a gap in the fence, or they simply follow a child home chasing exciting smells—a Pawtag means the person who finds them can call you instantly. No vet visits, no pound, no waiting days for a microchip scan. Just a quick call, and your pet is safely back home.
With so many pets still missing across NZ, why risk it?
A Pawtag is low cost, laser-engraved, durable—and could be the reason your pet finds their way back to you.

Let’s change the outcome for lost pets. One tag at a time.

Why We Do What We Do

At PawTags, our goal is simple:
To help more pets in New Zealand get home faster, with less stress.

Too many beloved dogs and cats go missing — and never make it back.
Some weren’t wearing ID tags.
Some weren’t microchipped.
Others had chips that failed or migrated.

We believe every pet deserves the best chance of being reunited with their family. That’s why we create custom, high-quality pet tags starting from just $10 — because safety shouldn’t come with a hefty price tag.

Some families have multiple pets, and most tags out there cost $25–$30 each. We’re changing that. This isn’t about making money — it’s about making a difference.

I may just be one woman on a mission — but I’m Chonnie, and I’m doing everything I can to help keep Kiwi pets safe, loved, and home where they belong. 💛

Policy

We do our best to keep all colours and tag styles in stock.

Please note that different tag shapes allow for different amounts of text, and some styles are more durable than others. It’s the owner's responsibility to ensure the tag doesn’t rub or scratch against other tags — like council tags — as this can lead to faster wear.

For extra protection, we offer an optional UV resin coating on our bone and circle-shaped tags. This helps keep your tag looking great and lasting longer!
