blanketID
I have to admit, I have not invested in any tracking devices for my dog. I do have those $8 collar tags on each dog with their name a phone number in case of emergency. However, I’ve often wondered if I should make the extra investment in a special ID tag.
blanketID is a special 15mm x 25mm tag that is individual to your pet. You purchase a tag, then go on to the blanketID website to add details and photos of your pets under your unique blanketID tag number. It’s waterproof, scratch-proof, and lightweight fitting right on your dog’s collar like a name tag. Plus, the designs sure beat those ugly metal tags from the machines.
If your pet gets lost, simply report your pet missing and blanketID.com automatically sends a broadcast email to local SPCA, animal hospitals, shelters, other local blanketID members. Everyone will be able to access a full description and photos of your pet. If you find a pet with a blanketID tag you can log on and enter its blanketID tag number to find its owner.
Have you ever considered a pet ID service such as this or do you use the standard tags you get from the “big box” pet store?
I love this! I have the $8 tags from the pet store and tagged with the microchip but I think I’m going to have to get me these cute tags.
These are beautiful tags. Just the thing for my young, hip kitties
We have one of these tags. We bought ours a few months ago because we really felt it was the best choice for Mimi(very bad tabby cat)
Great post!
We got a BlanketID tag for our Rhodesian Ridgeback about a month ago. Great idea as she has a tendency to wander. And she likes the doggie bling factor…
Such a great post featuring our tags!Thanks for helping spread the word, Cate
Our bully just wishes she could have one for every occasion. she loves her tag and so do we.
I just got a new puppy and I have thought about getting an implanted device, but these seem like a fantastic, cost-effective and STYLISH alternative! Thanks for sharing!
I think I still want my phone number on my dog. My dog can be pretty skittish, even around us, and I think if somebody catches him for a bit but then he gets away, they’re much more likely to remember a phone number than a BlanketID code. And that way I’m contacted directly, too.
I think this is a nice addition to the traditional tag, but not everyone has constant internet access, as difficult as that is to believe.
That said, I love this design and execution. Post it up if they ever release a way to customize the info inside the tag, because it’s a beaut.
these are a great idea, but don’t forget about always keeping your dogs rabies and county tags on at all times and think about getting your animal microchipped (make sure to register and keep it updated!). i work in an animal shelter and we get over 15,000 animals in over the course of a year and the number one way we get pets home is by their rabies or county tags and then by the microchip. more prepardness is always better!
