Hi and thanks for looking.  I have a background in IT and I always look for ways to help people/companies/pets using software or hardware.  I have a very cute Jack Russell, however I have to walk him on the lead as he has a small dog attitude and if another dog approaches he can get very vocal and potentially aggressive. I'm not worried about my dog as I have him on a lead and under control, however other owners don't always put their dog(s) on a lead when they see him as they think he's small and cute.  It's only when I tell them he can be aggressive do they put their dog(s) on a lead.  This got me thinking about how I could help this situation, if only there was a way to allow other owners to identify what type of attitude other dogs have towards each other.

Using a dog tag/fob with different bright colours would allow other owners to identify what the dog is like and decide how to control their pets.  Also if you are on Facebook you will see lots of lost dog post and whilst most pets are tagged it's impossible for members of the public to identify the pet and it's owner.  This usually means looking after the pet until the vets are open or call the local dog home.  I then thought if I incorporate an easy way for the pet and their owner to be identified it would allow the pet to be returned to the owner much sooner.

The software on the card will also store the various information which can be used when taking the pet to the vets.  If you have a look at www.petssos.com you will see the screenshots on what can be stored.

By contributing to this project it would set a standard for all pet owners to follow and if you have a pet it would help you to identify other dogs and their attitudes towards your pet or you.

What We Need & What You Get

I am looking for £6,000 in funding as each tag / fob can only be ordered in bulk and I also need to get the software written to allow members of the public to identify a dog and their owner with out giving out too much information away which will stop someone passing a dog off as their own if they find them.

If you make a donation then we will put this towards the funding of the project, however if you make a donation of £15 or above then you will get a dog tag / fob as soon as they are in production and for each £15 above that you will get an additional dog tag / fob.

If we don't reach our entire goal then depending on how much we raise we will progress with some of the different colour of dog tags / fobs.

Pets SOS Impact

If pet owners use this dog tag / fob and the different colours then it will set a standard which will make going for a walk with your dog less stressful and also if it gets lost then your pet can be returned to you without having to involve a vet or dogs home to identify who owns the pet.

Risks & Challenges

I will need to identify a supplier who can produce these items as I have already mocked them up at home and have all the dimensions and specifications.  I also need to write the software which will be secured on the tag / fob and allow a member of the public to view the pets details with out allowing them to change the information stored.  The tag / fob can be plugged in to a windows computer to see the information and the owner can change the data using a password and all the data is protected by encryption.

  • I have a lot of experience in sourcing suppliers so I don't think this will be too much of an issue, however I have to make sure the quality is what I would expect it to be.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you can't contribute to this project then I would really appreciate it if you can tell your friends and colleagues about Pets SOS and spread the word buy using the Indiegogo share tools.
