Plus a microchip in case something happens to the tag. That way any vet can identify your dog and get you reunited.

Would be nice if phones NFC could read the chips.
Sounds like you just found yourself a marketable product
Do know enough about it, might need to change the whole industry to make it work.
Seconding the chip. If a dog is lost then any dog owner doesn't need to look for someone who knows someone who owns the dog.
legally required in the UK
I assume the dog had a microchip which can be easily scanned by a vet and says who owns it and where they live.
LMAO who is downvoting this?
