Early access — Pune

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.

🐾

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.

1

Open Muzzl app

Download on Android or iOS. Free to register — no subscription for shelters and feeders.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

Muzzl vs other dog ID methods in Pune

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

Method Hardware needed? Works on strays? Offline capable? City-wide shared? Cost per dog
Ear tag Tag tool Sometimes Yes No ₹50–200
Tattoo Tattoo kit Rarely Yes No ₹100–400
Microchip Implant + scanner No Scanner needed If linked ₹500–1500
Paper register None Yes Yes No Near zero
Muzzl nose print Smartphone only Yes Yes Yes Free for NGOs
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.
