Dog-E-tag is a durable programmable pet tag that holds a HUGE amount of information about your pet. We were first attracted to the product by its versatility. Due to the amount of information we could enter into a single tag, it eliminated the need for multiple tags clanking together noisily on each of our dogs. Besides being able to enter our pets names, address, phone numbers, license numbers, etc., we were also able to put in notes for our elder dogs such as "My name is Mia, I require medication," and "I can't hear and am afraid of sudden movements." This gave us comfort knowing that, if they were ever lost, whoever might find one of our pets could better understand and meet their needs until we could pick them up. We also programmed a note saying there would be a reward if the pet was found, making it more likely for someone to return them to us.

Additionally, we like the fact that it is a simple matter to program new informationinto the tag at any time. This eliminates the need for us to buy new tags every time we have a change in any of the contact information or in one of the dogs' medical needs. The information is viewable by pushing a button, and the battery life is rated for 2 years, though ours haven't run out yet.

The tag itself is a little more than an inch across and very lightweight, so it is just as comfortable for our little dogs to wear as for the large ones. They also come in several great colors, and are definitely durable! Our youngest dog, a Boxer, is extremely active and pretty rough on anything she wears. Dog-E-tag has survived rolling, scratching, being caked with mud, and rain torrents (she loves water!) without a problem. We even rinse the tag off when it gets looking too grungy.
