Description

A waterproof pet collar tag design featuring a unique design that allows a pet owner to quickly identify the tag and includes a sound chip recording device. The front of the tag design features one button that is pressed when recording the information, and a second button to play back the recording. A pet owner simply must record his message and then attach the tag to his pet's collar to give the animal added protection. If the animal should become lost, a person who finds the animal will see the unique tag and be able to press the play button to hear the information and return the animal to its owner. Variations of the tag include an engraved registration number plate on the back of the tag in the event of a power source failure, as well as various tag shapes, such as round, oval, or oblong, and colors.

FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of an electronic identification device for pets according to my design;

FIG. 2 is a rear elevation view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a left side view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a top plan view thereof; and,

FIG. 5 is a bottom view thereof.

The broken line showing of numbers in FIG. 2 is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.

Claims

I claim the ornamental design for an electronic identification device for pets, as shown and described.
