What You'll Learn

This guide walks you through creating a complete digital pet passport using Idenpet — from setting up your pet's profile to generating a QR code and organizing their important documents.

Step 1: Create Your Pet's Profile

Start by entering your pet's basic information:

  • **Name and photo** — helps anyone who finds your pet identify them quickly
  • **Breed, age, and weight** — useful for vets and shelters
  • **Microchip number** — links your digital profile to their permanent ID
  • **Emergency contacts** — your phone number, vet clinic, and a backup contact

Step 2: Generate Your QR Code

Once your profile is set up, Idenpet generates a unique QR code. You can:

  • Print it and attach it to your pet's collar
  • Save it as an image to share digitally
  • Order a physical Idenpet QR tag (coming soon)

When scanned, the QR code displays your pet's public safety profile — no app needed.

Step 3: Upload Important Documents

Use the secure document locker to store:

  • Vaccination records
  • Spay/neuter certificates
  • Health certificates for travel
  • Registration and licence documents
  • Insurance documents (if applicable)

Step 4: Set Up Reminders

Never miss a vaccination, licence renewal, or vet appointment. Set reminders for:

  • Vaccination boosters
  • Annual checkups
  • Flea, tick, and heartworm treatments
  • Licence renewals

Step 5: Activate Lost Pet Mode (If Needed)

If your pet ever goes missing, activate Lost Pet Mode from your dashboard. This flags the QR profile with a prominent "LOST" banner and displays your preferred contact method.

Best Practices

  • Keep your profile photo up to date
  • Update records after every vet visit
  • Review your emergency contacts annually
  • Share your pet's QR code with dog walkers, pet sitters, and family members
