Top Tag Pet IDDog tags have now gone high tech with the introduction of Top Tag Pet ID.

Top Tag Pet ID has software pre-loaded allowing the owner fill in blanks on their dog's owner, health history, food and diet, commands it knows, and even photos.

It stores up to 64Mb of data, and costs $39.95.

  • Yeah, it's kind of expensive, but how much is your pet worth to you? Is $40 worth not breaking a child's heart because Fido disappeared? Last time I lost a pet, I'd have paid $40 to get him back.

    Depending on the situation, I think it's more than worth it.

  • $40 isn't the problem.... I just don't see how much this is giving you over a normal tag with a phone number and address.

    Knowing the dog's dietary particulars and tricks might be useful if you want to *steal* the dog for your own pet, but less useful if you just want to return him/her to the rightful owner.

  • My dog has epilepsy. Therefore he has to have his medicine or he will start seizing. He is prone to cluster seizures and if that happened without treatment he would die.

    He also has to avoid foods that have a lot of preservatives, especially BHT and BHA. These can increase the likelihood of a seizure also.

    So yeah, I'd pay $40 for this "typical over the top American junk."

  • I dont understand the ratoinale besides bland sympathy and seneseless empathy for spending so much time and money caring for a creature with such poor, weak, and disease prone genetics. You didnt give birth to it. Use logic instead of emotion. It seems that you are using emotion without the benefit of intellect. Why adopt such a creature, and if so it came to you, put it to sleep. Adopt and save a healthy animal scheduled for a much more senseless death, such as their occupancy duration is up.

    Its like someone i know and his parents. Their kid is all messed up on drugs and they would rather spend their time and money giving their affection and concern to cat giving it four shots everyday to keep the piece of crap alive. Meanwhile the car he drives spews out carbon monoxide inside everytimne he stops. Then they say they have no money but spend $1500+ annually to keep something alive which nature would have deemed, not worthy. Imagine if overtime everyone cared for animals with damaged genetics, flawed genes, non-hybrid adating capabilites. Evolution would slow down and greater strength, intelligence, immunity would all be effected if the sick survive and the healthy die.
    Dont be so emotional and understand what is best over time for all creatures not just the one in your home. Dont ever breed that flawed animal and ruin a generation of genetic collages.
    Do a service to everyone, dont adopt dogs with genetic flaws. Then again, maybe you want to be the saviour in you mind. (Im kind of in a bad mood plus im stuck at my cousins house)

  • To anyone saying that $40 is worth it.. Um, it's $5 USB thumb drive attached to a keyring. If you buy that you're a tool. You could do it yourself for less than $10.

  • What's probably a more relevant product is a GPS device that attaches to a pet's collar. These are available now but still quite expensive. It should be more reasonable within the next year or so. The device will show you on your mobile phone the exact location of your animal. THAT'S worth $40!

  • I think that usb dog tags would be helpful if you had someone pet sit for you. Then you wouldn't have to spend 20 to 30 minutes explaining what your dog eats, it's habits or whatever. You just have to tell them to plug in the usb to a computer.
