ID Tags
Let potential thieves know that your pet is 'PetGen Protected', available in a range of shapes and colours. The price includes engraving, UK postage and the split ring.
Although you are welcome to write any message on the tags,
please take into consideration the following:
The Control of Dogs Order (1992) requires that any dog in a public place must
wear a collar with the name and address (including postcode) of the owner engraved
or written on it, or engraved on a tag. Your telephone number is optional (but
advisable). You can be fined up to £5000 if your dog does not wear a suitable ID tag!
With small tags it may not be possible to fit the whole address on. Therefore as
your postcode relates to a section of houses in one particular road.
If you then add your house number or name this can accurately identify your address.
You could also add your dog's name in brackets before your surname.
An example would be:
(Ruby) Ellis
26, TD8 6UJ
01835 830273
Enter these details in the engraving section above when you place your order as:
(Ruby) Ellis 26, TD8 6UJ 01835 8302873

(Dog name) Your Surname
House name/number and street

DNA Identity Kits
The DNA Pet Identity Kit from PetGen Ltd is a brilliant new way to permanently identify your dog, cat or horse. Microchips can be removed, tattoos can be removed or defaced but there is nothing a thief can do to alter your pet's DNA.
Forensic technology means that you can always prove ownership of your dog by comparing a DNA sample to the one stored at PetGen.
A survey in 2006 found that almost 100,000 dogs go missing in the UK every year, around 270 every single day. Around 3,200 cats go missing every week and half of these are not found. Theft and unauthorised sale of horses is a growing problem, in the UK and abroad. Pet Gen will store your dog's DNA free of charge for a minimum of 17 years, ensuring that your furry friend is always protected.
PetGen DNA sampling is completely non invasive and can be done by any owner. The kit comes with complete instructions for how to take a mouth swab from your dog and includes a pre-paid envelope for sending the sample to PetGen.
DNA sampling is not designed to replace microchip technology, but work in conjunction with it to guarantee your dog's identity. If your dog's microchip fails, you can still prove your pup's identity using the DNA identification. In addition, by publicising the fact that your dog is DNA identified, you make them a much less attractive target for thieves.
Your dog's DNA sample will be stored with complete discretion and will only ever be released to proper authorities at your request, if your pup goes missing or is stolen. It will not be used for any other purpose.
Sadly we can only ship these products within the UK.
DNA Collection & Storage Kits
PetGen's animal DNA collection and storage kits are currently available for Horses, Dogs and Cats.
Unfortunately, many thousands of pets go missing or are stolen every year and it is vital that as responsible pet owners we take every precaution to make sure we get our beloved pets back safely and quickly.
DNA storage isn’t designed to completely replace micro-chipping, but it helps form part of a comprehensive pet identification program and gives you that extra piece of mind should anything go wrong. Micro-chips unfortunately can and do fail, but your pet's DNA can’t break or be tampered with. In fact DNA storage has many benefits over micro-chipping. It also provides an alternative means of identification for pet owners who are concerned about adverse micro-chip reactions.
As well as the clear advantages for pet security, having a DNA sample at hand also has other benefits:

As well as the clear advantages for pet security, having a DNA sample at hand also has other benefits:
- DNA technologies are constantly advancing and a stored sample can also be used for any new breed/species specific tests in the future and may be important in your breeding program (e.g. paternity tests).
- DNA sampling is COMPLETELY NON-INVASIVE and can be used for virtually any species.
- Only pay the one off cost of the kit – no annual fees
