Fido's Dog Tag Goes High Tech

by Tim Stevens on August 9, 2007 at 11:01 AM

An LCD for FidoIs that engraved, dog bone-shaped tag dangling from your pooch's collar a little too low-tech for ya? You're not alone. A company called eTags has developed a more high-tech option dubbed the Dog-e-Tag. It's a $30-$40 electronic tag that includes a four-line LCD screen that you can program with your pet's name and your phone number. But, with up to 40 lines of information available to scroll through, you can also stack it up with your street address, e-mail, any medical problems your pet has and whatever else you feel like punching in ... your pooch's preference for Evian, perhaps? The tag is water-proof, shock-proof, cold-proof, and comes in six different colors. Battery life is rated at two years and, when it dies, you can pop in a new battery on your own. Take that iPhone!
