“Byte Tags have been fantastic!”

Jodi G.

I bought our tags last year. Originally there was an issue with the split ring and Byte took care of it right away. They answered all our questions promptly via email and they have amazing customer service. The byte tags themselves are a great way to make sure our pets stay safe in addition to the microchips! Can't say enough good things about the product and this stand up company

“Never sent anything”

Made my order over a month ago and haven't gotten anything in the mail. They had no problem taking my money immediately. When I reached out a couple weeks ago they said " We're still a relatively new business, so we're working out some issues as we go." If this is a legitimate business, I seriously doubt it will last.

I ordered a tag almost a month ago, they charged my card immediately, I received an email confirming the ordered stating I would be advised when it shipped, but it still shows shipping pending. They provided a UPS shipping tracking number but it says it's invalid. There's no phone number to contact them. I've sent them several emails with no response.

I just received my BYTE TAGS, so i can't say how it will work, and i believe this IDEA IS GENIUS! HOWEVER, having a large, clutzy dog and having had multiple large dogs in the past, I would STRONGLY recommend working with R&D to develop a stronger tag and stronger attachment ring. These are not going to last with a strong, active dog. The size of the pendant is perfect. The colors are cute, but not as vivid as the ads on their website. As a side note, I believe the weight and material may work ok for a small dog.
Edited to add, there are no written directions with pendants.

Tip for consumers:
WAIT UNTIL THEY UPDATE THEIR PRODUCT. TOO WEAK FOR LARGE AND/OR ACTIVE DOGS, WOULD BREAK EASILY.

The byte tag has been a God send. We have a Shepard mix who often wanders away to neighbors when we're outside working around our little hobby farm. And the ease of scanning his tag to get in touch with us is so easy even kids have done it when he wandered to a group of them playing outside. We love our byte tags.

I bought 2 tags to start with.think they were on-sale for $ 10 each. Regular rice was over $20 I got recieved had a little ring to attach to dog collar ring on didn't had to use a key ring. The little ring broke. Tag was lost, contacted byte tag, said they would send me a new one just for shipping. I then bought 2 more for my rescues. After that first problem plastic got scratched and QR wouldnt scan. One got chewed and wouldn't scan, 3 rd one plastic tab broke off.
I have have contacted buyers tag about all of this several times. I have yet to receive a response.
Don't buy ok product but not super reliable and poor customer service.

Recently my Australian Shepard was returned to me after escaping his fenced in back yard. He is microchipped but his rescuer praised how easy it was to use his cell phone to scan the tag and find out where my dog belonged. Many people aren't sure how to find a vet or someone that can scan for a microchip. My animals will always wear a Byte Tag! Thank you!

Honestly, I would encourage everyone to get this tag. It may take more than a moment to get your tag, but it is a QR code that needs to be created on a beautiful tag. Once you get the tag you have peace of mine knowing if your pet is safe if they ever get lost.

Received my 2 Bytetags and went to the app to set up an account. The password input doesn't allow you to check what you've typed in for your password. As a result, if you hit a wrong key you don't know it and your password is good for nothing. Most sites give you a way to reset it. They don't. There is NO PHONE NUMBER associated with this company. NONE. ZIP. NADA I discovered their BBB rating is F and they are a scam, never respond to emails. DON'T PURCHASE FROM HERE!

Tip for consumers:
It's been several days and still no response to my request for help to reset my password.

I absolutely love bytetags. My babies are chipped but I also put bytetags on them for more convenience to the person(s) that finds them if they are ever lost. My first set were hanging tags and delivery was fast. The second ones I ordered go flat on the collar. Those took longer At Christmas time.

I have purchased Bytetags for all of my furbabies, and I love them. I have even purchased them as gifts for friends little furbabies. They are cost effective, reliable, great shipping, easy to use site to enter your contact information, and I won't go to another company for these needs! Highly recommend!

If i could give negative stars, i would. I ordered two of the byte tags and the beginning of December 2023. The shipping label was created on December 10 and USPS is still awaiting the package as of today, 12/27/23. I requested to cancel and refund on 12/16, since there was no way it would get here by Christmas and i had to buy replacement gifts. They have ignored the request and keep saying they will investigate and let me know when it is shipped. Absolutely insane. BUYER BEWARE.

These ByteTags are the best invention ever! They really give me peace of mind, especially if my dog ever wanders off. The customer service was awesome too, super responsive and patient with all my questions. 10 gold stars!

The order comes in pretty quickly. It was easy to set up and use. I like that I get a notification every time the tag is scanned. I originally bought the epoxy one, but it broke from my dog playing too hard. Then we went to the silicone one and it has lasted since! I like that there is a warranty on all tags. After my dog's broke, I was able to email customer service and they gave me a code to buy a new one. I only had to pay shipping which was less than $4. I even got to pick a different design. I do wish that there were more design options and ability to customize it to state at least the dog's name instead of Byte being the first thing people see. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the results.

I got my byte tag back in Septemeber of 22. First when receiving I thought WOW! I paid this price for this thing? Anyone I did a practice trial checking it out and it was awesome. Got the account set up and everything. August of 22 I switched phones I downloaded the byte app and it keeps telling me the email does not exist. I only use 3 emails I tried all 3 says none exist. I then in Novemeber of 22 contacted byte support for help. It is now Jan 23 no response. I submitted help several times giving all 3 emails and nothing! I even decided to say my dog was lost to expedite and still not a word or single reply! I tried creating a new account but then I scan qr code and says tag is in use. Very frustrating very upsetting. Very glad my dog isn't lost because if he were I'd be extremely passed off.

(1) a great idea, only the tags don't hold together in rough play; the scan code falls off and (2) the app doesn't work right, loses the login information -- the very last thing you want to happen when you've just lost your pet is to be required to create a new account!

I ordered a personalized version with my dogs name and ny phone number printed on it. It said it would take 2-5 days. I waited a week and nothing came. I emailed the company and they said "oh it takes 4-6 weeks for the personalized ones, it said it on the site". Well, I went to check because I had never seen that, and they had deleted the product entirely! I'm now at week 7, I have heard back from them 3 times via email (takes DAYS for a reply) and every time it's placating "oh we will prioritize your order and let you know" or the last one "oh maybe it got lost in shipping" even though it never showed as having even been made. I have suggested they just refund me and they continue to give me the runaround. I went out on a limb to support the small company despite my husband wanting to go with a bigger namebrand and now do I look the fool! Horrible customer service experience. Lots of lying and avoiding the issue.

Tip for consumers:
They shouldn’t take on orders they can’t complete! They need to be honest and just refund the money.

Placed an order on 12/4/23 and charged immediately. Order has never shipped, over a month later. I have reached out to the company via email and social media with no resolution. They sent an email asking for a review which I clearly gave a poor review. I included my order information and asked for resolution with no response, again. I filed a BBB complaint since PayPal has the transaction marked as unable to file a complaint (not sure why). Don't waste your time and money. Many other complaints about being charged and and never receiving product.

I have purchased the standard tags and the silicone tags for my dogs. My one pup is very rough on things and has somehow managed to rip his silicone tag off. I love these so much that I plan on replacing it with the flat tags. I highly recommend you get these if you have pets.

I LOVE THESE DOG TAGS!
Where to start when there is so much good to say about this brand and the products and customer service!
1) these tags are super customizable to each pet with all the features and options for details on your dogs needs and preferences if they were to get lost!
2) LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION, is included with these tags! When it's scanned the location is sent to you at no extra cost! Unlike other brands that I've seen and used they like to hide that their location services are extra monthly cost.
3)CUSTOMER SERVICE! We had a problem living in where our email wasn't recognized when signing in, but I was still receiving emails from them. I contacted customer service and in 24 hours. My issue was fixed.
I love that i can add pictures and every detail about my pet to let people know about them if they get lost. I LOVE THIS BRAND!
