Quick Answer
A pet ID card is a wallet-size or tag-size card listing your pet's name, your contact details, vet number, microchip number, and any critical medical information — carried by owners and attached to travel crates.
What Is a Pet ID Card?
A pet ID card complements a microchip and collar tag — it gives anyone who finds your lost pet a wallet-size card with everything they need to help them get home. It's also essential for travel, boarding drop-off, and vet emergencies.
This template provides two formats: a standard credit-card size (85×54mm / 3.4×2.1in) and a smaller tag size that can be laminated and attached to a carrier or crate.
When Do You Need This?
What to Include
1. Pet side
- Pet name
- Species, breed, colour
- Microchip number
- Photo (optional but very helpful)
2. Owner side
- Owner name
- Primary phone
- Secondary phone
- Vet name and phone
- Critical medical info (e.g. 'On daily medication')
Legal Notes by State
No legal requirements. Laminate for durability — standard credit card laminating pouches work perfectly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a pet ID card a replacement for a microchip?+
No — it complements it. A microchip requires a scanner to read. An ID card provides contact information immediately to any person who finds your pet, without any equipment.
What medical information should I include?+
Include only critical, time-sensitive information: 'On daily insulin injections', 'Severe bee sting allergy', 'Heart medication — must not miss doses.' Routine vaccinations don't need to be on the card.
Can I make one for my cat?+
Yes — the template works for any pet. For indoor-only cats who escape occasionally, a wallet ID card is especially useful since they may not wear a collar regularly.
