Man, let me tell you about the time I got my dog a totally free dog tag. It all started when my pup, Buster, somehow managed to slip out the back gate one afternoon. I was freaking out, running around the neighborhood like a headless chicken, calling his name until I was hoarse.

Luckily, a neighbor found him sniffing around a few blocks away, but it was a real wake-up call. I knew I needed to get him a proper ID tag, and fast. So, I started looking around online, and stumbled upon this thing called FidoAlert, or maybe it was TabbyAlert, something like that.
They had this deal where you could get a free dog tag with a QR code. All I had to do was register Buster on their website, and boom, free tag. They give you a unique ID, and it’s got this little QR code on it that anyone can scan if they find your lost pet.
I hopped onto their site and started filling out Buster’s info. It was pretty straightforward, just the usual stuff like his name, breed, and my contact details. I even put in a picture of him. They also asked for my cell phone number. And the best part? The tag itself was completely free! I mean, I just had to pay for the shipping, but that was nothing compared to the peace of mind.
I think the website that I ordered the free dog tag also has a feature to help you when your pet is missing. I didn’t try this feature but it will notify users in the network when your pet goes missing.
After I signed up, they sent me this little tag in the mail a couple of weeks later. It’s got Buster’s name, the unique ID, and that all-important QR code. It’s also got some kind of alert network thing, where if someone finds him, they can scan the code and it’ll notify other people nearby or something.
- First, I registered my dog on the website.
- Then I got a unique ID for my dog.
- I received a free customized pet tag with a QR code.
- If my dog goes missing, the alert network feature helps me find him.
Here’s how I did it:
It took me, like, five minutes to sign up. And the tag arrived pretty quickly too, maybe a week or two? Now, whenever Buster’s out and about, I feel way better knowing he’s got that tag on. It’s like a little extra layer of security, you know?
Honestly, I can’t believe they give these things away for free. I guess some company called PetScreening or something foots the bill. But hey, I’m not complaining! If you’ve got a furry friend, you should definitely check it out. It’s a no-brainer, really.
So yeah, that’s my story about getting a free dog tag. It was super easy, and now I don’t have to panic every time Buster’s out of my sight. Totally worth it.
