Does your pet carry identification to help him find his way home? An ID tag? A collar with his phone number embroidered on it? A tattoo? A microchip? Even for indoor pets, ID is a very important aspect of responsible pet ownership. Make your pet prepared to find his way home in case the unexpected happens.
Top Tag Pet ID is a new product which allows you to include more than your pet's name, phone, number, and address in his identification system. With Top Tag Pet ID, your pet can easily carry all his important care information.
Why Use ID?Because a pet cannot tell his rescuer where he lives, all pets should carry some form of ID. Without ID, who knows where your pet will end up, the quality of care he will receive, and if you will ever see him again. With your contact information on his ID, your pet's chances of finding his way home are greatly improved.
If you feel that your indoor pet does not need identification, think of the pets of Hurricane Katrina. Disasters, accidents, and other unexpected life changes happen. A hurricane, house fire, tornado, and other disasters could cause your indoor pet to flee home and end up homeless. A storm could blow down a fence. Even a simple, unexpected event such as a guest accidentally leaving the door open could leave your indoor pet wandering about outdoors. BE PREPARED.
Which ID Should You Use?There are multiple types of pet identification systems from which to choose. They are all helpful in helping your pet find his way home. Listed below are some pros and cons of several types of ID.
ID tag – The ID tag for your pet's collar is a very popular form of pet ID. Tags are affordable, easy to use, and very easy for rescuers to locate. Standard tags can only hold a small amount of information (name, address, phone number) and new tags need to be purchased if that info is changed. It is possible for tags to fall off or be removed if the pet is stolen. Tag inscriptions also tend to wear with time, so be sure they are always legible.
Inscribed collar – If you dislike the noise tags make when they clink together, you may prefer an inscribed collar. Like the tag, it can only hold a small amount of information, and a new collar must be purchased when info changes. This ID is also not permanent and could fall off or be removed.
Tattoo – A veterinarian can tattoo your pet's information on his skin. This is a long-existing form of pet ID, but has lately lost its popularity due to controversy. Your phone number or an ID number can be printed on your pet, usually on his leg. Someone rescuing your pet would need to know where to look for a tattoo and what to do with the information found. Tattoos can fade and become difficult to read, and a tattoo's information can be tough to keep current.
Microchip – A permanent form of ID whose info can be edited, the microchip is growing in popularity. A veterinarian can implant a microchip under your pet's skin. When scanned, the microchip provides an ID number. The chip's registry can then provide the rescuer with the owner's information. The chip can only be detected by a veterinarian or shelter owning a chip scanner, so it is important to backup your info with a collar tag.
Top Tag Pet ID – A new, easy-to-use form of pet identification which provides the most information of all the forms of pet ID. Read below for more information!
Top Tag Pet ID
Top Tag Pet ID is a new and convenient form of pet identification. This form of ID is especially useful because it allows ALL of your pet's care information to be available to his rescuer. The tag is a 64 MB flash drive which is stored in a protective, plastic casing. On this flash drive are seven main categories and 14 sub-categories in which to type your pet's information.
On this flash drive, you can store information such as basic contact information, diet, behavior and personality traits, commands your pet understands and ways he communicates, your pet's bathroom habits, medical information, your wishes for your pet's care after death, and a photo album.
Insert the flash drive into a USB port on your computer, and you will be walked through the process of entering your pet's information. The layout for the information has been designed for you; you just need to plug in the information. When you're done, the information is saved on the flash drive, and can be edited as needed.
The Top Tag Pet ID flash drive is stored in a plastic case which you can attach to your pet's collar. The case is protective and water-proof. If the case is damaged, a new one can be ordered and is free if your Top Tag Pet ID has been previously registered. If the flash drive does become wet, allow it to dry, then check its function. Moisture is generally not damaging.
With the Top Tag on your pet's collar, a rescuer can simply insert the flash drive into a USB port and be provided with all of your pet's information. If for some reason, you are unreachable, the information on the flash drive will allow the rescuer to provide your pet with the same care he has received from you.
Top Tag Pet ID can also be attached to stalls, kennels, cages, aquariums, etc. to provide care information for ALL the animals you love. If something unexpected happens to YOU, you can feel confident that your whole pet family will receive the same quality care as you have provided.
