I"m pretty sure you listed your home address on this vlog... in the maps in the background... looks like cloverdale ca... anyhow be careful with personal data and safety... this is a good video and thanks...
Do you have any update on the durability of these tags? Looking for one that will stand up to an active dog and not require replacement after a few months? Thank you for sharing!
Unfortunately the plastic outer coating on the Buddy ID scratched to the point where you can't read it. I don't have any of these tags on my dog but I do have a basic name and number tag of silicone that is holding up very well. I would suggest the Whose ID or My Lucky Tag in silicone.
Beware of the silicone tags' fragility; they can easily be ripped, and an average dog's bite force is 250 PSI. Chinese sellers may compromise your personal information. When someone scans your tag, information is accessed in China first. For US government or military personnel, these tags are a big no-no! QR code tags rely on the system's security; if it's not safe, avoid using them. Imagine a finder having to contact China to report a missing dog, creating unnecessary complications.
I am having this very experience with my Buddy Tag! The plastic outer coating is so scratched you can't read the QR code anymore. I wonder if the metal or silicone ones will hold up better.
@FirstStreetPets the problem with that is how many people would think to do that? Also, I would have to hope and pray that my dog wasn't found by someone who is completely off the grid when it comes to electronics? Those folks, hopefully, are few and far between, although I do have a friend who is completely and totally electronics illiterate. This wouldn’t stop me from getting one of these tags though.
@@vickykent353 for sure there are some limiting factors with QR tags. The main benefit is low cost and immediate protection (no waiting for a tag in the mail). Nothing beats an old fashioned tag with your phone number.
Yes there are so many kinds, and more every day! I may make more videos in future if any of the new tags are significantly different from what is already available.
Since all these services, save one, are free, what do these companies do with your information that is posted online? How are they making profit? They must be selling the purchasers information.
Good question! It's an unfortunate reality of today's world that many companies sell our information. You should be able to ask any company if they sell your information and get an answer. Some freebie websites have ads which cover the costs of production. As a blogger and RUclipsr I can assure you even a basic platform isn't free!
@@Edward..de..lanndo that's the idea. Most people don't want to steal pets, they just want to help ge them back home. You have to give out your info in order to be contacted.
I have just received the Crumb one they have got them on offer for free then after when you get it itll be 2.95 a month cheap and affordable Regards Terry

They're so cheap now.. i got my WhoseID for $5... to me its worth replacing if damaged.
@@samueldelgado1458 yes they are very inexpensive! I sell them in my shop for $12 and you can find them online even cheaper.
So informative- thank you!
So awesome... My cats go missing ALL the time, .. i ordered 2 WhoseID tags $5 each

But the buddy ID is US based I believe because the link with the actual chip aspect?
Yes some of the companies like Microchip ID Systems (Buddy ID) are in the U.S.
I have Whoseit and it works well
Great to hear!
Thanks for the informative video! I'm currently in the market for this
You're welcome! Let me know which one you buy and how you like it.
Thes sound great but what about. When the QR CODE GETS SCRATCHED by the other tags the dog wheres
I am having this very experience with my Buddy Tag! The plastic outer coating is so scratched you can't read the QR code anymore. I wonder if the metal or silicone ones will hold up better.
I have a cover I got at chewy since I knew that would eventually lead to issues fits perfectly
The thunder cover
The crumb tag is guaranteed scratch resistant.
The pet buddy I didn’t care for I tried to scan it it wouldn’t scan and I have an I-phone 13
Try downloading one of the QR reader apps from your app store. Sometimes they work better than just using the camera. Let mw know if this helps.
