Keeping Tabs on your Pooch!

koogatag-front-back.jpg“1 in 3 pets will become lost…without ID 90% won’t return home.” There are now products on the market that make having a lost dog less and less a reality. 

KoogaTag is making a name for itself as a leader in this market.  Developed by veterinarians and health care professionals, KOOGATAG provides more detailed information and a wider range of services than any other pet tag or microchip on the market…all on the world’s smallest USB ID pet tag. Anyone finding your pet simply calls the toll free number on the tag along with the ID number and they have immediate access to our EMERGENCY LOST PET CENTER, 24/7. Unlike other tags, your personal information such as your phone number and address, are never revealed. After all, you never know WHO will find your pet!

KoogaPet has recruited the best in the business in terms of veterinarians, system programmers, program directors and customer service—all of whom are pet owners.

“When we looked at the viable choices for pet protection, we discovered significant improvement was required. Microchip implants have very limited information and minimal owner accessibility. Simple pet tags with no information, but personal phone numbers and addresses exposed are usually ineffective. KoogaPet has combined the ease of just using a simple pet id tag with technology that any computer can access. We combined that with a secure website that protects personal owner information. We don’t stop at the tag level; we have created a complete pet protection system to help affiliated veterinarians with their owners. This has also empowered the owner to take control of their pet’s care anytime and anywhere. Our 24/7 lost pet center is proactive. We not only take calls from distraught pet owners, we also assist pet finders by providing a simple means to assist lost pet owners. Our emergency lost pet program provides assistance to pet owners and alerts nearby shelters and veterinarians by fax and email—complete with pet identification, microchip id and pet photo.”

KoogaPet is not just a one time tag it’s a lifetime of proactive security for you and your pet.  For more visit KoogaTag.
