How A DocuPet Tag Keeps Your Pet Safe and Found

When you choose a DocuPet tag for your pet, you are consciously prioritizing your furry friend’s well-being while preventing a chain of events that leads to increased intake and resource consumption at local shelters. 

Together with our HomeSafe® 24/7 lost pet service, our tags allow for a lost pet to make it back home to their owner quickly and easily without involving the local shelter. It’s obvious that we, as pet owners, want to keep our furry friends safe and accounted for, but this is particularly crucial as many shelters are grappling with severe space and resource limitations. By keeping your pet tagged, you’re helping to alleviate this burden and ensuring local animals in need can receive the care and attention they desperately need.

These tags are more than just a means of identification–they are your pet’s golden ticket home if they get lost. By using a DocuPet tag, you can rest assured that your furry friend has a secure path back to you. Here’s how:

24/7 Pet Protection

Our HomeSafe® 24/7 lost pet service provides a proactive solution to every pet owner’s worst fear. With just a few clicks, you can create a Lost Pet Report through your account, immediately alerting our dispatch team and nearby DocuPet users that your pet is missing, what they look like, and their last known location. 

By including a unique code on your pet’s tag, we create a link between you, your pet, and their online profile. This code gives anyone who finds your pet the sole tool needed to file a Found Pet Report with our 24/7 dispatch team while providing them with profile details that ensure they can temporarily care for your pet.

Powerful Pet Profiles

Your pet’s profile provides all the detailed information they will need to make it back home to you safely should they become lost. More than just a collection of information; it’s a safety net for your pet. You can have peace of mind knowing that everything from contact information to medical details, care instructions, feeding schedules, and emergency contacts can be easily accessed through your pet’s tag code, all in one convenient place. These centralized details are crucial, making it easy for anyone who finds your pet to identify or care for them.

Creating and regularly updating your pet profile is the key to ensuring a prompt reunion with your pet if they happen to wander off. Our dispatch team relies on the comprehensive information within these profiles to guide pet finders in providing the best care for lost pets until they are safely returned home.

You can choose to make profile information public to anyone who searches your pet’s code or keep it private, based on your preference. The more information you share, the better-equipped someone will be to care for your pet if they are found.

Emergency Contacts

Consider your pet’s emergency contact a vital safeguard, sparing your pet from unnecessary stress. When you include your emergency contacts publicly on your pet’s profile, they act as the last line of defence between a quick car ride home or a shelter stay for your pet.

If you’re unreachable, your designated emergency contact steps in to provide the necessary care your pet needs, such as feeding, walking, or administering medication. This could be a parent, partner, sibling, friend, or pet sitter. Having emergency pet guardians on your profile can offer relief, knowing that your furry friend is in capable hands until you’re available.

Fewer Lost Pets = More Shelter Space

DocuPet tags are more than just a way to get lost pets home. They actively reduce the number of lost pets on the streets and in shelters, all while helping to create a safer and more caring environment for all animals in your community.

Swift identification plays a crucial role in ensuring that your pet is reunited with you without ending up in a shelter. This efficient process benefits not only you and your pet but also helps conserve valuable space and resources at local shelters.

Our tags offer a convenient and efficient method for quickly identifying lost pets and providing the finder with a direct way to return them to their owners. Each DocuPet tag can be personalized with your pet’s name and phone number or our HomeSafe® hotline, facilitating quick reunification and providing peace of mind.


Our furry friends deserve the best, and we are proud to provide them (and you), with an effective lost pet prevention solution. You’re actively making a difference for your pet and local shelters when you tag your pet. But with DocuPet, your pet’s tag actually matters
