Near-field communication (NFC) is a more secure and private way for smart devices to exchange small amounts of data with each other. It works using radio frequency, and it does not require pairing (like bluetooth) to work. The most common (and recognized) use for NFC technology is contactless pay. Click here to verify if your smart device is compatible with NFC.

The BOOPME™ tag is not a GPS tracker. Current GPS technology requires an antenna which would not fit into the compact design of our tag. Our future plans with BOOPME™, however, do involve passive and active forms of GPS tracking - we just want to do it right!

No, our tag does not require a battery to function. Unless the chip is physically damaged (or defective), it will continue to function indefinitely.

Our tag is made of food-grade ABS plastic with a soft-touch UV coating. We chose this material as it's made to last in all environments (rain, sun, and snow) and is easy to clean.

Our tag (chip and cover) are made in China, however it is assembled and shipped (with love) by us in our Montréal office.

No app is required to use our tag as we wanted to make it accessible across all devices (whether someone owned a BOOPME™ tag or not). All that is required is an internet connection and smart device in order to customize and access your pet profile.

There is no subscription fee to use our BOOPME™ service.

Yes, you need to have a BOOPME™ tag in order to edit and customize your pet profile. This is a security measure we have implemented to ensure your information stays safe. You will not have access to the platform unless you have a tag. However, you do not need a tag in order to view the profile (that is, anyone with a smartphone device can view the profile when tapping the tag).

We wanted to make your pet's profile as customizable as possible. Meaning, we wanted you (the user) to add whatever information you believe is important to have available on your pet's tag.

So, when editing your pet's profile in the BOOPME™ platform, you are able to add your own categories as all our text boxes are free text boxes (that is, you can write whatever you want!). If you want to learn more, visit our How it works page.

The only mandatory information we require you to complete is your pet's name, age, sex, colour, and breed and one method of contact (either phone number, e-mail or address).

Absolutely! Through the BOOPME™ platform, you can have more than one pet profile linked to your account. In other words, each pet profile is a different tag.

For example, if you have your pets Emi and Koro, you have one tag for Emi and one tag for Koro. Emi would have her profile, and Koro would have his profile. Both would be linked to your account, making them accessible to edit when you're logged into your account.

This is why we have included the Bundle option when purchasing our tags, as no pet should be left out. To start building a bundle (and save some money), click here.

At this moment of time, the BOOPME™ tag is not a replacement for your metal city registration tag. You may add the licence number to your pet's profile, however your city might still require the physical metal tag. Please refer to your city's pet registration guidelines to confirm what is required.

The BOOPME™ platform has the integration of different types of security to ensure your information is not easily accessible nor distributed by third-person parties. This includes a combination of softwares that provides a "firewall" type protection when accessing the platform, blocking out in real-time any suspicious connections. In addition, all information inputted into the platform is encrypted, increasing the difficulty of a data breach to occur. Moreover, all pictures are uploaded onto a folder outside of the public server and cannot be accessed via URL, therefore giving access to only the owner of the photo (the account user) control over the photo(s).

We will ensure that all orders placed will be shipped the next day.  If we anticipate there to be any delay in processing time, we will ensure to clarify prior to your purchase.
