The Petsafe Micro ID collar was the winner for the best product in 2006, for the Idea Fetch competition at the Global Pet Expo. PetSafe is currently running a "free offer" on these Micro ID collars for cats and dogs. The Micro ID collar is normally sold for $29.99, but Petsafe will be waiving that charge through February. It's still not completely free because there is a $8.99 charge on each Micro ID collar for Fed Ex shipping. Petsafe has said that the motivation behind this offer is to help rescue and return the millions of lost or injured pets in the United States.
Product Features
*Collar fits necks up to 16 inches
*Lightweight, durable and comfortable collar with integrated flash drive
*Easy-to-use software program to create pet profile and scrapbook pages
*Universal access - Compatible with Microsoft® and Macintosh® systems
*Every collar has a unique ID number that can be linked to the optional PetSafe® Rescue Service
With the Petsafe MicroId collar, you can store information about your cat or dog on a USB flash drive attached to the collar. If your pet should become lost, the person that finds your pet can plug the memory stick into their computer to get your contact information. For $8.99 it might be a fun gadget to play with, yet I don't think it can take the place of an old fashioned dog tag. What if a computer illiterate finds your dog? Petsafe does offer an optional service for $9.99 a year in which the person that finds your lost pet only needs a telephone. They can call the Petsafe Rescue Service printed on the collar, and Petsafe will reunite you with your pet.
I decided to post this offer, for all of you high tech readers out there that might get a kick out of this. Personally, I'll be sticking with my old fashioned dog tag.
