I tried linking my pet’s tag and it says the tag ID is invalid. What should I do?

This usually comes down to a small typo — the characters on tags can be easy to mix up.

First, double-check a couple things:

  • Make sure the tag isn’t already activated on your pet’s account

  • Enter the exact letter/number sequence printed directly under the QR code on the tag

  • Include all prefixes, dashes, letters, and numbers

Common mix-ups we see:

  • 0 (zero) vs O or 8

  • 1 vs I

  • 2 vs Z

  • 3 or 8 vs B

  • 5 vs S

  • I/i vs L

If it still won’t activate, email support@pethub.com with a clear photo of the QR code side of the tag and we’ll get you sorted out.
