Project: Zero Lost Pets

Zero Lost Pets
NFC Pet Tag "pet-key" Project

As pet lovers, we often find ourselves worrying about pets getting lost. We've created a 7-panel manga featuring an innocent dog named HANA, so please take a look.

Regular Walk


HANA walks cheerfully with her family along their usual route.

Suddenly Lost


Chasing a butterfly, she gets lost in the moment... and realizes her leash is off.

Feeling Anxious


What started as play, ends with her alone... HANA is anxious and scared.

An Encounter


A kind young man calls out to HANA, who is huddled on the roadside.

Connecting


Scanning the pet-key on her collar with his smartphone, the man learns the owner's information and contacts them.

Reunion with Family


Hana rushes back to her family. Thanks to pet-key, they are safely reunited!

Living with Family


Embraced tightly, HANA starts walking with a smile again.

Thank you for reading HANA's story.
Next, we will introduce "pet-key," the collar that saved HANA from getting lost.

―Why did we start this project?

※Images are for illustrative purposes only.

Looking at my dog, HANA, I couldn't shake the anxiety of "what if she gets lost... and no one protects her...".
pet-key is a project to create a new habit of "protecting with a simple tap of a smartphone."
If this habit doesn't spread, achieving zero lost pets won't be possible.
That's why we started this project.

 

― Reasons why pets with collars still can't get home

※Images are for illustrative purposes only.

When pets get lost, there are many cases where they can't return home even with a collar on. Pet tags often have small text, which can be unreadable due to dirt, scratches, or in dark places, making it difficult for rescuers to find contact information. We adopted a system where simply tapping a smartphone on the tag automatically displays AI voice guidance (reading out standard phrases), pet information, and owner information, without needing an app. This makes it easy to confirm information, and ensures that necessary information is conveyed instantly, even at night or in the rain, allowing rescuers to act without hesitation.

 

― Why no specialized knowledge or app is needed

※Images are for illustrative purposes only.

The goal of pet-key is to create a system where "anyone present can help a lost pet." No special knowledge or app installation is required. Simply tap your smartphone on the collar's engraved part, and the pet's information and owner's contact details will automatically display. You can confirm information regardless of the environment, without having to search for text or worry about operations.

 

― The pet-key collar: Just tap your smartphone

pet-key is a "collar that conveys user-edited information." Simply tapping a smartphone on it will clearly display essential information for lost pets on the screen, such as AI voice guidance, name, personality, health information, and contact details.

― 3 Steps for someone who finds a lost pet

※Images are for illustrative purposes only.

1. Observe calmly

2. Tap smartphone on pet-key

3. Contact the number displayed

Usage is very simple.
If you find a lost pet on the street, first observe it calmly. Then, simply tap your smartphone on the pet-key collar, and the pet's information and owner's contact details will appear on the screen.

 

― Designed for seniors and children to easily use

※Images are for illustrative purposes only.

pet-key does not require an app; information is displayed simply by tapping a smartphone on it. No special operations or knowledge are needed. The situation can be understood just by reading the text, making it easy for seniors and children to use without confusion.

 

― Why it cannot be imitated, and the reassurance of its continuity


The pet-key system is officially patented (Patent No. 7766838). This is not to loudly claim it's "special," but rather quiet assurance for continued, worry-free use. Precisely because it's a tool to protect cherished family members, it incorporates reliable, hard-to-imitate technology. Within a simple collar, we've carefully integrated a truly effective lost pet prevention mechanism, making it easy for anyone to use without confusion. pet-key, while discreet in appearance, delivers reliable lost pet prevention with solid technology—that's the trust we aim to provide.

 

― Information displayed


※The image above shows the actual web application.

Pet photos, AI voice guidance (reading out standard phrases), name and contact methods, pet precautions, and notes on illnesses or personality can all be edited to display at a glance, providing information necessary for their protection.

 

― It's not necessary for every family

※Images are for illustrative purposes only.

We're not saying pet-key is "absolutely essential" for your family. However, we hope it can be a collar that quietly supports pet owners who want "preparation for emergencies" to protect their beloved family members.

If you have:

・A pet that causes a little concern during walks

・A pet that has opportunities to go to crowded places

・An elderly pet prone to getting lost

・An owner who wants to convey information safely when their pet is found

Then this is for families who want to "increase their peace of mind even a little." pet-key is not a tool to aggressively sell. It's simply a collar that delivers NFC-equipped + web app functionality to those who feel they need it.

 

― Your purchase saves lives

※Images are for illustrative purposes only.

A portion of pet-key's profits will be donated to animal welfare centers. This is not a "buy and done" system; it's a mechanism where your support becomes the power to sustain other lives. We hope to create a gentle cycle where collars that protect lost pets also reach dogs and cats in need. The future of rescue dogs and cats can change significantly with a single action. Choosing and supporting pet-key subtly helps protect the lives of pets in unseen ways. Towards a society where people and animals can live side by side, we would be delighted to foster that step with you.

you become the power that quietly protects a potentially frightened life.

Your step leads to someone's "I'm home."
