Anyone who has ever lost a pet knows first hand the feeling of intense panic that takes over the second you realize your pet is missing. I’ve been there, and it’s one of the worst feelings there is. And what’s worse is the feeling of helplessness that occurs once the panic subsides. I cringe just thinking about it! Fortunately, we live in a time when technology trumps helplessness, and the tools we need to help bring our lost pets home are right at our fingertips. Thank goodness for sites like Find Toto.

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?
