The Importance of Pet Tags

How Pet Tags Can Help Reunite Lost Pets with Their Owners

Do I really need a pet tag if I keep my pet indoors? 

Does my pet really need identification if I keep an eye on them all the time? 


Our answer to both is a resounding yes! Unfortunately, accidents happen even to the most careful pet parents, and it’s better to be safe in case your pet somehow runs off. To ensure that your pet makes it back home safely, we highly recommend getting them a pet tag. 


A pet tag is a convenient pet ID that you can attach to your pet’s collar. You can engrave your pet’s name and contact information like your phone number on the back. 





Why are Pet Tags so crucial? 


  1. They increase the chances of getting help 

If your pet manages to slip out, a pet tag signals that your pet has a family and can help anyone quickly identify where to bring them home! Without a tag or a collar, your pet could be mistaken for a stray or get accidentally sent somewhere else. 


  1. They help comfort your lost pet 

If your pet gets lost or is so far out of their comfort zone, hearing their name could help soothe them too. It can further help whoever finds them lead your pet back home. 


  1. They can provide important medical information

If your pet has health issues, such as allergies or injuries, a tag is a great way to let others know. In the case of an emergency, this information could be also useful to medical personnel who would be attending to your pet.
