If you're one of those "pet parents" who can't shut up about your dog or cat, now there's an ID tag made just for you.
Why be limited to your dog's name and your phone number when you can put tons of information on a flash drive and hang it on your dog's collar?
The PCPetID is enclosed in a waterproof capsule that takes the place of the old-school metal tag. If your dog should run away, whoever finds her can plug the tag into any computer USB port and find out your vet's name, address and phone number, plus food allergies, medication requirements, brand of food, favorite treats, photos and whether Mommy's single. Hey, you could meet someone great, get your dog back and have a great story to tell.
