Platinum Pets Pawsitively Safe Pet Finder Tag for Dogs

This product states that it's better than a microchip. I disagree, a microchip is something that cannot be damaged or fall off of the dog at most this tag does the same thing. However unlike a microchip the tag can fall off the collar or break while the pet is missing. This product wants to make it seem like it will "track" your lost pet real-time vie the app. But this is false. You only get to see a display of the distance from lost point to found point. Your lost pet must be found FIRST ( with the collar and tag still intact) then you must rely on whoever finds your pet to know what to do with this strange tag and know what to do next.

My dogs are chipped and I encourage all pet owners to chip their pets as well . This tag is pointless in the end. … more

I like this website but this product is awful, I got it for my cat and when I mark her as missing on the website it claims she is NO WHERE near where she would be AKA ANOTHER COUNTRY OR STATE which is completely a lie, it is very unorganized when my pet goes missing I would want to know the exact location or the general area where she would be, this tag tracker does not work what so ever, it was a waste of my money.

loop at the top is not durable and tag keeping falling off....

Easy to set up an account. Haven’t had to use it yet as far as someone else having to report my cat found. But I visited the site and I can see locations of where someone typed in his info.

People sometimes don't think about how to locate their furbabies if they get lost, until it's too late! Better to be safe than sorry. However, the format of the website for the animal profile is a little strange and could be improved.

I don't know what I expected for 10$, but this is pretty much a dog tag, that requires finder to go to website (that works terrible, loggs all the time) enter the code and then, if finder will allow you will be able to see where the finder is. So instead of just texting a number on tag finder has to jump through loops in order to return your dog. It's not chip replacement, it's more like dog tag replacement, but more difficult to use. It doesn't sent you a map unless finder will go online, enter a code and allow to track his phone/ comp.

Purchased this tag in September of 2017 for our puppy as a quick way to ID her until she was old enough to get a chip. Like the online national registry. In August, the tag fell off my dog's collar; upon inspection, the metal hook had worn thin & snapped. First time in 26 years owning animals this happened - never had a tag's hook wear thin like this. So I assumed it was an unusual occurrence. I contacted the company to get a replacement tag (& mentioned I would use an 's' hook for this one), & was told they wouldn't replace it due to normal 'wear & tear' but that I could buy a new one. Nice way to continue sales - we have to buy a new tag every year? Not me.

I will find another way for quick ID, in addition to her name tag & chip. Sorry, but no recommendation from me for this tag. … more

Although I do think this is a great idea, especially bc once the code is entered, it automatically flags the location by gps of the user who entered the code (and presumably found your dog), this should never be considered an alternative or replacement for microchipping. Chipping is so important! It is a surgical placement yes, but done with local anesthetic and very quickly done and routinely done during neuter or spay surgery. The procedure usually costs less than $20. All shelter adoptions are adopted out with chips. Collars and tags can be lost or removed. Microchips are permanent and can be detected for the lifetime of your pet.

This is confusing and the site is not user friendly. I felt it was a waste of money.

This product was very easy to register. It’s giving me piece of mind.
