Protect Your Valued Pets
With Dog Identification Tags!
Simply stated, dog ID tags are an important lifeline for your pet if he ever becomes lost. A dog wearing this
most basic form of identification has a much better chance of being returned home. Without a
dog identification tags, all kinds of bad things can happen to pets and the odds of getting home at all, are
dramatically reduced. I'm not trying to alarm you, it is just a sad fact and the best way to avoid this is to
make sure Fido can be found!
ID tags for dogs are the most useful when they have phone numbers for more than one person that can always be
reached, such as a family members, or a neighbor and also your vet. This information can be engraved on the
back side. Don't forget to check the tag frequently for any signs of wear.
Designer Pet Tags
Dog identification tags come in lots of stylish varieties so your dog doesn't have to look like he's in the military!
Nowadays, there are fashionable ID tags for dogs of every size, so you can combine function and style. Plus,
it's fun to spoil them with unique tags and on the practical side it's good to have a back-up in case one
gets lost. We've included a few designer pet tags on this page and you can see more unique designs in our
id tag gallery. These tags can be
engraved when you order - similar to the one on the right.
Now I hate to tell you this, but sooner or later your dog will go missing. Someone will thoughtfully leave
the gate open for Fido, or he'll find a find a spot to dig a way out under the fence. And poof, he's gone!
You'll no doubt get into a bit of a panic, but if he's wearing his dog identification tag with up-to-date contact
information, you'll feel a lot more confident about getting him back!
If I get lost, who will help me? Without a dog ID tag, finding your dog can be significantly delayed. One innovative
solution to finding your dog quickly once he's made a break for it, is the GPS dog collar - a device
that combines GPS and cell phone technology. Another less expensive option is a recordable message dog collar which allows you to record
a voice message of your pet's details including medical alerts if necessary.
Is Your Dog A Good Navigator?
If your dog is not a good at finding his way home, then his dog ID tag is even more
important. If you do nothing else, make sure your dog is licensed and has his animal control tag securely attached to his collar. This
is probably his best bet and only hope of being rounded up quickly and returned to his family. Also, make sure you have some recent
digital photos of your dog that could easily be converted to flyers and circulated in your neighborhood if he gets lost. It is a
sad fact that many dogs are being euthanized each year because pet owners couldn’t be located. A powerful reason to make
sure your pet has a dog identification tag.
