What to put on a pet ID tag?

When choosing what to put on a pet ID tag, you should prioritize the most important information and make it easy to read.

1. Phone Number

It's vitally important you have more than one number, in case you miss that found call. A cell phone number is best in case you're out looking for your pet. If you only respond to texts, you can include "Text [number]".

FoundCall gives you a special phone number and a unique ID code for your pet. If someone calls the number and gives the ID, we reach out to the first person on your list showing our caller ID. If they don’t answer, we move to the next person, and so on. Ensuring someone will always be notified when your pet is found, even if you miss that first found call.

We recommend adding your special phone number and a unique ID code to your pets collar, their microchip, and anything else they may have on them.

2. Pets Name

You should not put your dog's name on their identification tag. Many reputable organizations advise against it because someone could use your dog's name to lure them away.

Your pet's name is secondary to your contact information. When you're limited for space prioritize your contact details.

3. Microchip Status

If your pet is microchipped, include "I'm microchipped" or "Microchipped". This can help discourage thieves and reunite you if your pet's ID tag is lost.
