QNode helps you easily find your pet. If your pet gets lost, QNode will allow you to get the location of whoever finds your pet and lets them quickly get in contact with you when it matters most. QNode allows you to get the exact location of whoever finds your pet and lets them quickly and reliably get in contact with you when it matters most. It is a beautiful pet tag with a QR code in the back of it. It has everything an outdated and traditional pet tag has, but done correctly. It has your pets name, address and phone number. But, QNode allows your pet to have an unlimited amount of phones, addresses, and emails along with some important notes for whoever finds your pet. When someone scans your pets QNode, it will prompt them to send their location to you, and once they send it, you will be able to see it inside the QNode app, in the maps page along with the full scan history of all your pets. It will be there waiting for you to click on it and then get the directions to instantly go find your pet. QNode cares about your privacy. Your pet is not always lost. So, your contact information shouldn’t always be visible. That’s why the QNode app has a “Lost mode” switch where you can easily turn it on or off depending on the situation. This hides your personal contact information which allows you to show your information, only when you decide to do so.
