Ok, we promise not to steadily morph into Enpetgadget, but if people are gonna buy their pets
digital cameras and
cellphones, it seems almost perfectly reasonable to buy
them an electronic dog tag in comparison. You're screwed if the battery runs out, but besides storing the usual stuff
like your dog's name and license number and your contact info, the Dog-e-Tag can also display other useful tidbits
about your pet, like that they don't eat dry dog food or that they really prefer not to be disturbed while they're
marking their territory.

Not sure why they say your screwed if the battery runs out. The battery life is 2 years and it allows you to change the battery without losing data. Not sure how you are screwed.
I bought the Dog-e-Tag about 2 years ago. My dog is a Yellow Lab and can't stay out of the water...or the mud. This gadget really takes a beating. I wish digital watches were this durable. The 40 lines of text are more than enough to fit your dog's name, address, phone number and special instructions. There is even a security code so that no body can change the info on you. The only drawback to this tag is that it's a little tricky to program the text. The little buttons and my big fingers don't seem to go together. It's not a big deal unless you move a lot and have to change the info. This is a really great product for the dog owner that also happens to be a nerd.
