Most pet owners agree that a name tag is important, but ASPCA revealed that only 33% of owners actually have identification on their pet’s collar.
We’re sharing four reasons why you need a customizable name tag for your beloved pet so that they will always be able to find their way back home.
1. There’s Always a Chance Your Pet Might Get Lost
No pet owner assumes that their furry friend will ever get lost, but it’s more common than you might think. Peeva shares that 1 out of every 3 pets become lost at some point in their lifetime, and close to 10 million dogs and cats are lost or stolen in the U.S. every year. Unfortunately, less than 23% of these lost pets are reunited with their owners. This illustrates the vital role that name tags play in a pet’s life. If your animal friend were to ever find themselves away from home, an ID tag would significantly improve their chances of returning.
2. ID Tags Are Easy to Read
Since ID tags are laser engraved, the important information they carry is clear, readable, and will not fade. This ensures that anyone who finds your pet will be able to contact you. Some animals are tracked with a microchip, which is also a significant form of identification, but it needs to be scanned at a shelter to retrieve the information. At Naag Tag, our aluminum tags are made to last, so you can feel safe knowing that your pet will make a quick return back home.
3. They Show Your Pet Isn’t a Stray
Most people are more likely to stop and help an animal that appears to be a family pet as opposed to a stray. Without proper identification, your beloved pet will likely be mistaken for a stray. ID tags encourage strangers to stop and help locate the animal’s owner as soon as possible.
4. They Provide Information About Crucial Health Issues
Since cats and dogs are unable to vocalize any health issues they suffer from, a tag can communicate that essential information to a stranger. A tag should mention any of the following health concerns:
- Injuries
- Disabilities
- Allergies
- Medication needs
Those caring for your dog must know if there’s a pressing health issue they should be aware of.
What to Put on Your Pet’s ID Tag
At Naag Tag, our name tags are completely customizable, but you might not know exactly what to put on them. Here are a few pieces of information you should have engraved on your pet’s tag:
- Your pet’s name
- Your name
- Your phone number
- Your address
- Your pet’s health needs
- Microchip information, if applicable
Our shop also provides you with the opportunity to customize the shape and color of your tag in addition to the message.
