blanketID: Product review
October 27, 2010 • Product Reviews
What would you do if your dog went missing? The sheer thought of that sends chills down the spine of all of us here at FIDO Friendly magazine, and no doubt, elicits the same reaction as you read this.
Enter blanketID, a fashionable, functional and very useful new generation of pet identification tag. The only way we could honestly product review this is to actually be in the terrifying situation of having a dog be lost and then reunited thanks to blanketID. However…..
We can tell what blanketID promises to do. Your pooch wears the very charming tag, which looks like a high-end catalogue tag without the hefty price. On the back of each blanketID tag, a number is printed. The user simply logs on to the blanketID website and enters both owner and pet information.
Users are also given the opportunity to input other data about their dog, such as veterinarian name, pet distinguishing features, allergies, and special needs. Additionally, users can upload a current photo of their beloved pooch. All of this data is then stored onto blanketID’s database.
Should your pet go missing, you log into the blanketID website and report a lost pet. A broadcast email poster with all of your pet’s details is immediately sent to local animal shelters, hospitals and SPCA. The photo of your dog may help a shelter reunite your pet with you should he/she have lost its collar and/or tag.
In addition, you can print your own detailed lost pet poster immediately from the blanketID website. We like the features and unobtrusiveness of the tag, yet the wear and tear it took and looks brand new, unlike many of the metal tags that tarnish or fade with time. My dog has worn his blanketID tag for several months and it looks as good as the day we registered it.
Pricing is very reasonable. Users pay a one-time sign up fee and then a minimal yearly membership fee to maintain the service. Check it out here: blanketID membership pricing
Bonus points in this review for the donation of 15% of all profits directed to help sick, injured, abandoned and homeless animals.
This is one of those gifts you give for the holidays and although not a squeaky toy or tasty bone, will provide Fido’s owner with a gift upon which there is no price: peace of mind.
