Fact Sheet

  • In an effort to help rescue and return the millions of lost or injured pets in the United States, PetSafe® introduces a new rescue collar system that will transform how lost pets are identified and reconnected with their owners. 
  • The PetSafe Micro I.D. Rescue Collar™ is the world’s first “USB Flash Drive” Pet Rescue Collar to provide immediate access to emergency contacts, critical care information and a toll-free pet rescue service.
  • The PetSafe Micro I.D. Rescue Collar isn’t just a collar, but the ultimate pet protection system, offering a real-time, non-invasive alternative to traditional collar tags and pet micro-chipping. 
  • Worn as an everyday dog or cat collar, a “USB Flash Drive” is hidden inside the collar to store all of your pet’s personalized data.  If a pet wearing the PetSafe Micro I.D. Rescue Collar is ever lost, the flash drive on the collar can be plugged right into any computer with a USB port to identify the pet.  No need for an inconvenient vet visit to scan information.  You don’t have to worry about computer viruses and there are no batteries to buy.  The rescue collar contains a pet profiler that includes:  home, work and cell phone numbers, vet records with any medical concerns, pet personality and even pet photos!  The collar also sports a toll-free number connecting callers to the PetSafe Rescue Service in case an Animal Control Officer or helpful stranger finds your pet and doesn’t have access to a computer. 
  • The Micro I.D. Rescue Collar allows you to access your pet’s records at any time – day or night.  From work or home, even if you move!  Going on vacation?  You can update your contact information before you leave or on the road, including your hotel address and phone number.  You can conveniently print your pet’s records for a doggie daycare visit or trip to the vet.  The web site and flash drive also features a “lost dog or cat” flyer option where you can create a flyer for your lost pet and print copies immediately from your desktop. 
  • Selected from more than 5,000 entries across the United States, the PetSafe Micro I.D. Rescue Collar is the winning pet product idea of PetSafe’s IdeaFetch™ pet product invention contest. First time petrepreneur, Jonathan Warren, a 25 year-old surfer and wave forecaster from San Diego, received a cash prize for his idea and the chance to work with PetSafe to bring his product to market. Jonathan’s photo with his dog Cookie is also included on the Micro I.D. product packaging. 
  • The AAHA reports that a majority of lost pets are not recovered by veterinarians, animal shelters or humane societies, but by local neighbors. The problem is that most pets have no visible identification.
  • Recent American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) statistics reveal that while an overwhelming majority of rescued pets with ID are returned, sadly 90% of pets without ID never make it home.
  • The PetSafe Micro I.D. Rescue Collar is available in 3 sizes, ranges in prices from $39.99 to $44.99 and offers a 2-year limited warranty.  The rescue collar will be available at PETCO retail stores nationwide and online.
