Frequently Asked Questions
Your blanket ID tag will work anywhere in the world. If anyone finds your pet wearing its blanket ID tag they can enter the number at blanketID.com and find all the information you have stored about how to care for and safely return your pet. Currently our broadcast email service only covers Canada and The United States.
Other tags only help when someone has found your pet. A blanket ID tag has special features that actually help your pet get found (email alerts, posters etc). When your pet is protected with a blanket ID tag, anyone finding it has 24/7 access to your contact information with photos and important details about your pet. If you report your pet lost in Canada or The United States, blanket ID will automatically notify the places where it might be taken to.
We are the only ID service that specifically helps when a pet is stolen.
Just log into your www.blanketID.com account and report your pet lost or stolen. We will immediately send a broadcast email to local SPCA, animal shelters, hospitals, and other local blanket ID members. This email contains a link to your pet’s online profile. This broadcast service covers Canada and The United States.
The lost pet broadcast is issued immediately by email and you will receive details on which shelters and hospitals have been contacted. We will also notify other blanket ID members in your local area. This service covers Canada and The United States.
When you report your pet missing, the broadcast email that gets sent contains a link to your pet’s online profile and photo. Now people can see actual photos of your pet to help identify it even if your pet is found without its collar and tag.
By keeping an online profile, your pet can easily be identified using the blanket ID number on the tag. Microchips are invisible and require a special reader to identify the animal. Tattoos and Microchips are of no use to a member of the public who finds your pet and you must depend on them taking your animal to a suitable place to trace your address, which must be up to date. Unlike microchips and tattoos, your information at www.blanketID.com is easy to update and change.
If you change your address or phone number, you simply need to change your information online at www.blanketID.com – unlike traditional ‘static’ information tags, your blanket ID tag never needs to change.
