Recently, pets in Singapore have been given a chance to feel like true Singaporeans because now they have the privilege of getting issued their very own personal IDs! The cards serve as running licenses and can get customized as per the pet owner’s request. Moreover, many other countries already have the habit of getting ID tags for their pets and we’re going to tell you why pet owners around the world had better start getting IDs for their pets right away.

We at Bright Side learned more about this novelty and are very excited to tell you about it.

It’s not just for fun.

The ID looks like a plastic card and contains the following information about the pet:

Name Date of birth Breed Sex Place of birth The owner’s contacts The pet’s photo

All animals can get one — even turtles!

The back of the card might contain some additional information about the animal but it’s up to the owner to decide whether to include this information or not.

A small story gave birth to a great idea.

The idea came to be after one of the creator’s friend’s dog went missing. That’s how they came up with the idea to attach tags to animals so that they could easily be found if they got lost.

One more benefit

A portion of the profit made for selling these cards is donated to animal shelters.
