The QR code engraved on silicone or metal tag is where the pet's comprehensive profile, including his or her name, photos, medical problems, vet details and owner contact details are stored, viewed and updated.

Detailed at Pawcode.com.au, QR Codes are read by software, commonly referred to as a QR Reader, which are installed in most new smartphones or easily downloadable and often free. I-Nigma is the most common QR Code reader that can be obtained from App Store or Mobile Web.
