Driyu pet profile pre-publish checklist for owners

Quick answer: Confirm pet name and photo. Confirm phone is current. Verify microchip number is entered. Verify visibility toggles match intent. Test the public scan page on another phone. Activate the tag.

Why pre-publish matters

If the profile behind the QR points to last year’s phone or someone else’s photo, the reunion fails before it begins. A 5-minute audit is the difference between “working layer” and “false confidence.”

The checklist

1. Pet name and photo (recent, within 6 months).
2. Description (breed type, size, color, distinguishing features).
3. Phone (current and tested).
4. Email (current; inbox checked recently).
5. City and state (current).
6. Microchip number (entered correctly).
7. Medical alerts (if any, entered with care).
8. Allergies and current medications (entered if relevant).
9. Finder instructions (6 short lines).
10. Visibility toggles (each set the way you want).
11. Emergency contacts (1 to 3, with their consent).

Test the public scan page

• Scan with a second phone.
• Right pet shown.
• Phone number you intended is visible (or hidden, per toggle).
• No typos or stale data.
• Found-pet report form loads.

Common misses

Old phone numbers. Vaccine summaries that say “due” with no follow-up. Photos from when the dog was a puppy. Emergency contacts who moved. A microchip number one digit off.
