Help find lost pets with these alarm pendants

As a pet owner, I know how scary it can be when a furry friend goes missing.

It’s especially common around the Fourth of July, when fireworks and loud noises can scare pets and cause them to run away. While a microchip is a great way to increase the chances of finding a lost pet, it doesn’t always guarantee a quick reunion. That’s where Fido Alert comes in.

Fido Alert (for dogs) and Tabby Alert (for cats) are innovative pet collar tags that use QR codes
to reunite lost pets with their owners. The tags are the idea of ​​John Bradford, a
Enthusiast who wanted to create a more efficient way to find lost animals.

“Years ago I wondered why there was not a faster process to help pet owners with
“Lost pets?” Bradford said. That’s when he came up with the idea of ​​tags.

Here’s how it works: When you sign up for a Fido or Tabby tag, you enter important information
about your pet, including name, breed, physical description and any identifying characteristics.
You can also add photos of the pet.

Then enter up to ten emergency contacts with email address and phone number. If someone
If you find your pet, you can scan the QR code on the label with your smartphone. This will notify your emergency contacts via SMS that your pet has been found.

“We record the name and phone number of the finder and send it via SMS to all ten people.
you will receive an instant text message,” Bradford explained. “When you call that person, they will say, ‘Yes,
I have your dog with me,’ and you coordinate and pick up the dog or cat.”

One of the greatest advantages of Fido Alert is that it does not require an app or special software.
All you need is a smartphone with a QR code scanner.

Another feature of the Fido and Tabby alarm tags and network is a sort of “Amber Alert” for pets.
If someone loses their dog or cat, they can enter the information on the Fido Alert website.
with the animal’s last known location. “We take that location, go 3 miles and text everyone in our network a link that is a flyer of your pet,” Bradford said. “That’s why it’s important to keep adding more people to the network, because if you’re in the middle of Wichita, Kansas, we have people in Wichita who have signed up. But we don’t have everyone. So the idea is the more people in the network, the more people get a text that
there’s a dog running around loose.”

Although Fido Alert Tags are not a replacement for microchips, they offer a simpler and
Instant way to connect with people who will find your lost pet.

“The challenge with the microchip,” says Bradford, “is that if someone sees a stray dog,
willing to put the stray in their car and drive him to a veterinarian or animal shelter,” Bradford said.

With Fido Alert, the finder can scan the QR code and contact the pet owner directly. Bradford said his company is not trying to make a lot of money from Fido and Tabby Alert.
network and the company does not sell data to Chewy, PetCo or other pet stores. There is no
monthly service fee.

Signing up is free and the tags cost about $5. When I signed up, another user had “paid it
and offered to buy my label. I just had to pay a little for shipping.
