Pune's first
biometric dog registry
Any shelter, feeder, vet, or owner in Pune can join the early access waitlist — register a dog by scanning its nose print. No chip, no tag, no hardware. One scan creates a permanent ID that works city-wide.
Active across Pune
Muzzl early access covers all major Pune localities. Whether you're a feeder in Kothrud, a shelter in Hadapsar, or a vet clinic in Baner — join the waitlist and the dog you register will build a permanent record visible to every partner in the city.
Built for everyone who cares for Pune's dogs
From PMC-registered shelters to individual community feeders — one shared platform, one permanent record per dog.
Animal shelters & NGOs
Register intake dogs in seconds. Track ABC status, vaccination history, and adoptions — no paper registers, no duplicates across volunteers.
Muzzl for shelters →Community dog feeders
Log the dogs you feed. Share vaccination records with nearby vets. Prove ABC status to municipal inspectors without chasing paperwork.
What is a community feeder? →Veterinary clinics
Identify any dog before you treat it. Verify anti-rabies status, sterilisation records, and ownership history — just a nose-print scan away.
Muzzl for vets →Pet owners
Give your dog a permanent ID that doesn't rely on a tag or chip. Find your dog faster if lost, and share health records with any vet in the city.
Pune has 4 lakh+ dogs. Most have no permanent record.
Tags fall off. Chips require hardware. Paper registers burn in fires or flood in monsoon. The same dog gets treated, re-vaccinated, and re-counted across multiple shelters — with no one the wiser.
ABC double-counting
Dogs sterilised in Kothrud get re-caught in Wakad. Without a permanent ID, every clinic starts from scratch — wasting PMC budget on already-done procedures.
Vaccination gaps
Anti-rabies coverage depends on knowing which dogs were dosed last season. Without records tied to the dog, not the owner, gaps are invisible until a bite happens.
Lost dogs with no trail
A dog lost in Koregaon Park ends up in a Hadapsar shelter. With no identity link, reunification means luck — not a database query.
Feeder disputes
Multiple feeders claim the same dog. Ownership disputes clog NGO time. A biometric record settles it in one scan — who registered first, what health records exist.
Register any dog in 4 steps
Works offline in low-connectivity areas. No special device needed — just the Muzzl app and any Android or iPhone.
Open Muzzl app
Download on Android or iOS. Free to register — no subscription for shelters and feeders.
Scan the nose print
Short 5-second video of the dog's nose. Works in daylight, shade, or artificial light. The app guides you through the angle.
Match or create
If the dog is already in the Pune registry, Muzzl finds its record. If new, a permanent biometric ID is created instantly.
Add records & share
Log vaccinations, ABC status, medical notes, owner contact. Any partner in Pune can verify by scanning the same dog.
The ABC programme needs a database. Muzzl is it.
Pune Municipal Corporation runs one of India's largest Animal Birth Control programmes. But without permanent dog IDs, the same dogs get re-caught, treated, and released — inflating numbers while coverage stalls.
Muzzl gives every ABC dog a biometric ID the moment it's treated. Any shelter that re-catches it sees the sterilisation record instantly — before the procedure begins. That's how ABC coverage actually scales.

Most alternatives require hardware, sedation, or both — impractical at scale for a city with 4 lakh dogs.

In a city like Pune, we don't have a dog problem — we have a data problem. Every dog exists. We just don't know which one it is.
