The Brisbane-born lifeline that protects your pet when something happens to YOU!

May marks Responsible Animal Guardian Month, a time for pet owners to look beyond the daily walks and treats to the more serious side of pet care.

On May 9, we will observe National Animal Disaster Preparedness Day, a date usually associated with bushfire kits and evacuation routes. However, Brisbane founder Ella Broomham realised that for most of us, the most likely "disaster" is the one we aren't talking about: What happens to our pets if something happens to us?

The "Nobody" Realisation

For Ella, a Brisbane-based marketing professional and dog owner, the moment of realisation came while driving home one afternoon.

It was a thought she couldn't stop thinking about: If she were in an accident right now, who would know her dog, Indy, was home alone?

Like most dedicated owners, she had the good food, the vet on speed dial, and the favourite toy. She had thought of everything—except the "unreachable" scenario. If first responders were called to her side, who would know a pet was waiting at her house, and exactly what that pet needed? The answer, she realised, was probably nobody.

Finding nothing on the market that felt premium enough to belong on a keyring next to a well-made wallet, she decided to build it herself. Wren is a small Australian brand with one simple mission: to make sure your pet is never left without answers.

The Problem No Other Tag Has Solved

“If you are in an accident, your phone is locked. You cannot communicate. Your pet is home alone, waiting by the door,” explains Ella. “A collar tag does nothing in that situation—but your keys are right there. That is where Wren is most powerful.”

Wren is a precision-crafted stainless steel QR tag system. It comprises two distinct tag types, both linked to a single digital emergency profile:

The Wren Keyring Tag: Designed for the owner’s keys. A single scan by a responder reveals the pet’s feeding schedule, medications, and emergency carer contacts. It even supports multiple pets on one profile.

The Wren Collar Tag: If the pet gets lost, the finder scans the tag to access contact details and vital notes on how the animal handles strangers.

A Platform Built for the Moments That Matter

Each Wren tag connects to a live digital emergency profile managed at wrenpet.au. While the physical tags are the hardware, the digital platform provides the intelligence, featuring three specific tools that separate Wren from any other product:

✔️ Lost Pet Mode: Activates an urgent alert the moment an owner marks their pet as missing. Anyone who scans the tag is immediately informed the animal is lost and that the owner needs to be contacted urgently.

✔️ Scan Location Capture: Every time either tag is scanned, the system logs the precise location. This gives owners an immediate digital trail of exactly where their tag was found.

✔️ The Instant Missing Pet Poster: When a pet goes missing, every second counts. With a single tap, the platform generates a print-ready PDF pre-filled with the pet's photo and description. No designing, no wasted time.

Smart Tech, No Subscriptions

Importantly, Wren has ditched the subscription model typical of smart tags. One purchase keeps the profile active for life, with no app or software required for rescuers to use it.
