NFC Tags for Smart, Tap-to-Access Animal Identification

NFC (Near Field Communication) Tags offer an efficient, mobile-friendly solution for identifying and managing pets and livestock. Unlike traditional ID tags, NFC-enabled tags allow users to simply tap a smartphone or reader to instantly access an animal’s profile, health records, or ownership details. At Animal Watch 365 Technologies, we design NFC systems that integrate seamlessly with cloud platforms and mobile apps—no specialized hardware required. Our rugged, waterproof NFC tags are ideal for farms, shelters, and companion animal environments seeking real-time access to critical animal data. With a focus on usability, security, and compliance, our NFC tag systems are built to scale across operations of any size. Headquartered in Houston, TX, we serve as a trusted leader in the North American market for pet and livestock tracking innovation, backed by a commitment to performance, service, and smart product design

Case Studies

S. – Municipal Pet Licensing Program (Austin, TX)

To modernize its pet registry, Austin implemented NFC-enabled tags provided by Animal Watch 365 Technologies. Residents can tap the tag to view pet info and update contact data via mobile. The result was a 55% improvement in lost pet recovery times and reduced calls to city animal services.

S. – Small-Scale Goat Dairy Farm (Vermont)

A boutique goat dairy needed a traceability solution without the infrastructure costs of RFID readers. Our NFC ear tags and mobile app enabled staff to update milking, breeding, and medical records directly from the field, increasing operational efficiency and reducing paper-based recordkeeping by 80%.

Canada – Equine Event Registry (Alberta)

A regional equine federation introduced NFC bridle tags to register horses at competitions. Riders and staff could check horse profiles with smartphones, simplifying ID verification and improving compliance with movement and vaccine rules. Adoption led to quicker check-ins and 40% fewer errors in participant data
