Dog ID Tags
Protect Your Precious Pet!

---

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 tag, all kinds of bad things can happen 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!

Pet tags 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

ID tags for pets 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 sharp ID pet 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 designs here. 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 pet 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 locator - 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.

Dog E-Tag And yet another option, is the digital Dog-e-Tag shown here that can store a lot of information about your dog in a protected digital format, to help ensure his safe return to you.

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 dog ID 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 ID tag.
