Give Your Valuable Feedback About Pet Drivers License Id?

[Lestercastro]

Pet Drivers License ID is a kind of drivers license that keep your pet safe and contain all essential information of the pet including your pets name, address, contact number and also you name.

As much I know I share with you and want some valuable review from you.

Personally I find this unnecessary since my cat is indoors only and if he did get out by accident he is microchipped. The microchip company offers nationwide pet alerts to veterinarians, shelters and other lost pet subscribers. Plus even if your pet did have an ID there's nothing to prevent your pet from being stolen - all they would have to do is sever the pet ID tag. I'm not trying to dissuade you, this is just my personal opinion since you asked for reviews.

I think a microchip is a better idea. I don't see the reason for a drivers license ID. A microchip has all of that information plus you can reclaim your pet if it is lost or stolen. The other thing just seems unnecessary.

Hello Neely and Megan, i am agreed both of you. But according to me, everyone can't buy the microchip. It's Very expensive. As compare to microchip, Pet Drivers License ID is cheapest and everyone can buy them.

Bob is the only one of my cats who could see over the steering wheel, and he's never shown even the faintest interest in driving.

I'm sorry to hear that the microchip is expensive. If you don't mind telling us, where do you live? Perhaps if we know your location we can make another suggestion.

Sophie would love to drive. She'd steal my credit card and hit every drive thru in town.

Samai would eat the driver and steal the car.

Thanks for the info about your location, it helps. The average cost for microchipping through a vet is approx. $45 for a one time fee. If your cat was adopted from a shelter he/she should already have a microchip, you may want to ask. Otherwise, I found this info from HomeAgain microchip service but there are other services available also. Hope you find this helpful.

Following the first year of HomeAgain membership (which is regularly priced at $19.99 but may be offered at a discount through a HomeAgain vet clinic or shelter), pet owners will be able to maintain their exclusive member benefits by renewing their annual membership at a nominal cost of $19.99 per year.

The Home Again paid membership is optional after the first year. If you choose not to renew the membership, your cat's information still stays registered with Home Again. There is no charge to have your cat's information registered with Home Again. You can call Customer Service to update any information.

The membership is just a lot of bells and whistles the company offers (hotline with lost pet specialists, travel assistance to get a lost pet home, etc). If you don't need the extra stuff, there's no point to pay an annual membership.

If pet owners decide not to renew their annual membership, will their pets’ microchip ID codes and information still remain in the HomeAgain database?

Once entered in the HomeAgain database, microchips are registered for life, whether or not pet owners renew their annual memberships, and contact information may be updated online anytime free of charge by logging into HomeAgain.com. However, if a non-member’s pet is lost, they are not eligible for the value-added benefits included with the annual HomeAgain membership, such as proactive outreach to local PetRescuer volunteers, medical insurance for lost pets, travel assistance for found pets, the 24/7 medical hotline, etc.

Other microchip companies have similar polices on membership and basic registration.

Microchips aren't expensive. Sometimes shelters, rescues, vets, and pet stores offer a microchip day for little to no money. One of my cats was microchipped for free because the vet hospital was having a month long free microchip special with a routine check up.

Hi, 1catover i think you did not get the exact meaning of Pet Drivers License ID. It's a kind of identity tag and contain all necessary information of the pet that are helpful for everyone.

Please don't take what 1CatOverTheLine said literally, he is a very witty young man with a grand sense of humor. Young at heart that is!

I think it's a good idea. Animal control and other places are supposed to check for microchips, but many of them don't. So you can't rely on them.

One of my cats has a microchip from a company like that, that charges an annual fee. I don't pay it, can I register that microchip someplace for free? My other one's were done at the vet and registered with the vets office I guess.

I would say that most of those that adopt from a shelter don't even know about the yearly membership. Both my kittens are chipped from the shelter and I was never told anything about it. I was given the chip number though. The only reason I found out about the membership was when I went to change Samai from DSH to DMH.
I don't pay the membership. My cats are indoor only, and the info is current.

The annual fee is usually for additional optional services the microchip offers, like travel assistance to get a lost pet home and a support hotline. Check the company's web site for the FAQs and fine print on what the annual fee is for. Just having your cat's info in their database should be free. One can just call Customer Service to register a microchip and update information.

If your cat has a microchip from company X, then you can't register it with another company. There isn't a national pet microchip registry for all the different microchips out there.

My other one's were done at the vet and registered with the vets office I guess.

You should double check with the vet. Oftentimes the vet office will put the microchip in but leaves the registration up to the owner. The registration is with the microchip company, not with the vet office.

 

[kittens mom]

My vet at the VCA sat there and made sure the chips had our current information in system. We did pay more taking them there. Most shot clinics that offer discount chips offer the chip and leave registration up to the owners. Pets from shelters or rescues like the one Tera went to will come back to the rescue if they're found. My understanding with their adoptions if someone were to dump her at a city shelter the scan would come back she belonged to WMR and go back there.
