FAQ

How does the REUNITE-ID system work?

When an individual purchases a REUNITE-ID tag, they are instructed to go to the website to create an Owner profile. After this step is completed, then the owner goes to their PROFILE page and click on a button marked MY PETS in the ACTIONS box. There they create a profile of their pet including pictures, video, description, and much more. This is the information that will be accessed when your PET is marked with a MISSING status. When the pet is safe at home, this detailed information is hidden and confidential. Once the pet is found, the MISSING status can be changed, and the details of the pet's home and owner contact details are hidden once again. 

What happens when I buy a REUNITE-ID tag?

REUNITE-ID tags will be found at pet stores, veterinarians, rescue shelters, and select retail locations. When you buy the REUNITE-ID package, you receive the following instructions:

  • Go to the REUNITE-ID.com website and create your owner profile
  • Then add your pet profile including information like home address, phone contact, veterinarian, medications, microchip info etc....
  • When this is completed, service personnel at REUNITE-ID will assign a tag number  and program the tag to be specific to YOUR PET. 
  • The tag is mailed to your home address ready to put on the pet.

How does the REUNITE-ID work?

Each Reunite-ID tag is unique. Inside is a chip which is scannable by most Android phones and all iPhones (models 7 or newer) which have an NFC capability. This feature is also used by programs like GooglePay and ApplePay. This requires NO specialized scanner like microchips.0

The tag stores information on a pet including :

  • Pet name
  • Home address
  • Owner information (phone & name)
  • ID number (REUNITE-ID issued)
  • Microchip # (if chip is implanted, you can also store chip # here)
  • Veterinarian Info (optional)
  • Medication needs and health records (optional)
  • Mobile text to owner (immediate notification of found pet)

Additionally, the same information above as well as photos and more details is found by scanning a QR code with ANY CELL PHONE which is on the opposite side of the REUNITE-ID tag. This will take the person to the REUNITE-ID website where they are prompted to add the number on the tag to a form to lookup the lost pet's information. The pet's information will only be disclosed IF THE OWNER HAS LISTED THE PET AS MISSING.

Does REUNITE-ID work if my pet doesn't have a collar?

Although the information remains on the website, someone finding your pet will have no idea that it is registered with REUNITE-ID. You MUST keep a collar with the tag on your pet at ALL TIMES. Even an "indoor only" pet should have a collar because the number of reports of these pets dashing out and running from an owner are overwhelmingly numerous. 

Are REUNITE-ID tags weather-proof?

REUNITE-ID tags are manufactured to be IP67 certified waterproof.

What is the REUNITE-ID warranty?

The REUNITE-ID tags are guaranteed for 5 years and have an expected lifetime of 10-12 years. If a tag fails within the warranty period, then you follow the instructions for a replacement:

  • If the tag is lost, then there is a $5 replacement charge to have the information programmed into a new tag and mailed to you
  • If the tag is chewed or destroyed by the pet, then the $5 replacement is charged. 
  • Once a tag is replaced, the old tag and number is deactivated and cannot be used to identify any animal

I need to change my address and contact information. What Do I Do?

There is, on occasion, the need to update information because you relocate or change phone numbers. In order to make changes to your online profile, just log in and click on the EDIT PROFILE button in your account. However, that does not update information which is inside the chip of the dog tag. To update the tag follow these steps:

  1. Go to https://reunite-ID.com and log into your account. Then click on the SUPPORT button on the main menu. 
  2. Fill out the request to update your tags. You will then be directed to the store section to purchase the update service ($5). 
  3. Once the order has been received, you will be directed by our support to return your tag in an envelope to Reunite-ID. 
  4. Our support team will inspect, test, and re-program your tag. If your tag is beyond 5 yrs old it will be replaced by a brand new tag ($30 value FREE).
  5. Your re-programmed tag will be mailed back to you immediately.
