🐾 Why Every Pet Should Have an ID Tag (Even If They’re Microchipped)

Losing a pet is one of the scariest situations any pet owner can face. While microchipping is incredibly important, having a visible ID tag on your pet at all times adds an extra layer of protection  and it might just be the fastest way to get your pet back home.

Here’s why your furry friend should always wear an ID tag, and what to look for when choosing one.

🔐 1. Faster Return in Emergencies

If your pet gets lost, the first thing most people look for is a collar with a tag. It’s simple: an ID tag allows someone to contact you instantly, without needing to go to a vet or shelter to scan a microchip.

💡 2. Microchips Aren’t Always Immediately Accessible

While microchipping is crucial, not everyone who finds a lost pet will have access to a scanner. A phone number or scannable QR tag on your pet’s collar bridges that gap and speeds up the process.

🧷 3. You Can Add Helpful Info

Modern ID tags can include more than just a name and phone number. Some tags now have:

  • QR codes linking to contact details or medical notes

  • Smart features that update if you move

  • Stylish designs that match your pet’s collar

🐶 4. Peace of Mind on Walks or Travels

Even if your pet is always on a leash, accidents happen. A tag gives you peace of mind when walking in unfamiliar areas, traveling, or leaving your pet with a sitter.

✅ 5. It’s Easy, Affordable & Stylish

Adding a tag to your pet’s collar is one of the simplest safety upgrades you can make. And with modern designs, you don’t have to choose between function and style.

Microchips are important, but visible ID tags are still essential. They're fast, reliable, and can save precious time if your pet ever goes missing. Whether it’s a classic engraved tag or a smart scannable one, it’s a small detail that makes a big difference.
