Hurricane Katrina left thousands of pets displaced, and of those who were rescued only a very small percentage were ever reunited with their families.
This is why the Digital Guardian Angel Pet ID System, and pets-911.com was developed, to help you as a pet guardian be able to recover your pet should they become separated from you for any reason. It is really a brilliant system that utilizes but does not require the latest technology. There are three components to the Digital Guardian Angel System that attach to the pet’s collar:
The Stainless Steel Two-Sided Pet Tag, is a pretty standard identification tag which provides the owner’s contact number as well as the pets-911.com website and the pet’s individual registration number that the rescuer can enter on the website to get more information about the pet and how to contact his or her family. Finally the tag alerts the person who found the pet that there is digital data attached to the collar in the pet wallet.
The Digital USB Flash Drive stored on the collar can be plugged into any computer, whether it runs on Windows or MAC, that has a USB drive. It contains data formatted as both an HTML file and a PDF file to make it virtually universal, that includes pet owner’s multiple points of contact whether by telephone or email addresses, or alternate responsible parties, pet medical history, food, skin and drug allergies and symptoms, lifestyle and behavior findings and pet photos along with the pet owner’s photos for proof of ownership. This way you would not have to worry about your pet being adopted out or euthanized. FYI – the company performs stress-tests on the Flash Drive by tossing it into a six foot chlorinated pool for 20 minutes, driving over it by a two-ton vehicle and twisting it with a pair of pliers. Even with all that abuse, the drive continued to work faithfully. They even offer a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty to ensure long life.
Finally, the Pet Collar Wallet prevents the flash drive cap from coming off while the pet is active. It is both rugged for active use, and weather resistant made from neoprene which is the same material found in scuba diving wetsuits. Being flexible, the wallet easily slides over small to large pet collars and fits almost like a glove. It is very difficult to rip or tear making it an excellent choice for pet use, rain or shine year round.
The creators of the Digital Guardian Angel pet recovery have made this system as inexpensive as possible to maintain, so that you can afford to list and tag all of your pets – for their sake and your peace of mind.
The founder of pets-911.com, Michael Rogers, writes on their website, “Think of how many shelters and vet offices are equipped to scan a microchip or read tattoos. Now try to think how many more potential computers and laptops there are just in your local area? Those numbers are the odds that are stacked in both you and your pet’s favor. That’s a comforting thought!”
