IDTAG.com Partners with Pet Airways®
Secaucus, NJ — IDTAG.com, provider of a round-the-clock recovery system for missing pets, has partnered with Pet Airways in the transportation service’s new venture. On July 14, Pet Airways will launch the first flights of its pet-only airline specifically designed for the safe and comfortable transportation of pets.
On Pet Airways, all pets travel in the main cabin instead of the cargo hold. Flights originally will serve five cities—New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles. Pet Airways plans to expand nationwide with easily accessible pet check-in lounges to serve its “pawsengers” in major metropolitan areas.
When pets travel to a new location, either for vacation or to take up permanent residence, there is always the possibility of them wandering off and getting lost. To help avoid this problem, Dan Wiesel, President and CEO of Pet Airways, said that, in partnership with IDTag.com, every pawsenger will be wearing a special Pet Airways tag.
“The IDTAG.com service is far superior to any other pet recovery system that is available because of its instant lost pet alert program that helps find lost pets fast,” Wiesel said. “After all, pets are the most important item we can travel with. IDTAG.com and Pet Airways have a shared goal to ensure safety is always first when pets fly the friendly skies.”
Each IDTAG.com pet tag is engraved with a unique pet “social security number,” enabling the pet owner to create a secure, on-line profile containing current photos, videos, health records and up to 6 emergency contact numbers for their dog or cat.
One call to the IDTAG.com emergency support line or a click of the mouse and an instant lost pet alert will be sent to any shelter or rescue group within 50 miles of the pet’s last known location. In a similar fashion, anyone who recovers the pet can simply call the toll-free number on the tag or log onto www.IDTAG.com. It’s like an Amber Alert for lost pets.
“IDTAG.com and Pet Airways are a perfect fit,” says Tom Troiano, director of the program for IDTAG.com. “All pets should have an id tag, especially when they are traveling. The best feature that IDTAG.com offers to Pet Airways customers is that our system can be updated in real-time with no fees. So if a pet is about to take off on a flight, the owner can just put the destination zip code into our system and they can be assured that if anything happened once while the pet is visiting that location, we could send our instant ‘Amber Alert’ to all of the shelter and rescue groups within a 50-mile radius in the U.S. and Canada.”
