dogIDs Partners With PetHub to Take Pet ID Tags to the Next Level

Fargo, ND (PRWEB) October 17, 2011

dogIDs, a leading provider of personalized designer dog collars, custom dog tags, dog beds and dog leashes, today announced its partnership with PetHub, Inc., the Internet software leader specializing in easy-to-use pet safety technology.

With PetHubs SmartLink Pet ID tags quick response code (QR code) technology engraved on dogIDs tags and accessories more lost pets can bypass the shelter system and return home faster. Anyone with a smartphone or simple Internet connection can access the pets vital information via the engraved QR code and send an instant message to the pet parent with an easy scan or click. This week, PetHub added GPS capabilities     to its QR code technology, enabling owners to know exactly where their lost pet is when someone scans the QR code on the dogs collar.

Were incredibly excited to not only help increase awareness about PetHubs QR code technology, but also to help increase the size of the PetHub network through this partnership, said Clint Howitz, pack leader and president of dogIDs. The result is more pets with up-to-date, current information, and thats what dogIDs is all about. The addition of GPS capabilities to the QR code technology is simply extraordinary. Were thrilled to be a part of it.

The QR code points to a free, secure, membership-for-life profile page on PetHub.com where owner contact information can be listed as well as emergency contacts, medication information, dietary needs and more. Because owners have unlimited access to the free profile page, important information (such as a change in medical information) can be updated quickly and at any time without changing the pets ID tag.

Were software geeks who love figuring out how to use software technology to protect our four-legged furry kids, and dogIDs is unmatched in the production of high-quality pet accessories, said Tom Arnold, CEO of PetHub, Inc. We each get to focus on our passions, and its the animals that reap the benefits.

The concept for PetHub was inspired by startling statistics: every pet has a one in three chance of being lost during its lifetime. Up to eight million of those lost animals arrive in shelters every year. Only 12 percent of lost dogs find their way home to their families.
