In an effort to provide our customers with valuable products and services, Shelter Pro Software is pleased to offer the Pet Detect Animal Identification system. 

Printing kennel cards is a popular feature in Shelter Pro. To supplement kennel cards, Shelter Pro can also print "Pet Detect" collars. The collars printed by Shelter Pro are similar to the sample here, but the information included will include basic identifiers typically associated with Shelter Pro, such as Case IDs and Kennel assignments, plus pet name and other pet profile information. 

These collars have been widely used in the pet boarding industry for many years as a primary form of animal identification for guests. Additionally the labels have been used as 'tags' for the personal property items for the pet. 

Pet Detect labels are produced by a special printer. The device is relatively small in size, it's about one-half the size of a shoe box. The printer requires special label media to produce the collars. The media comes in rolls that are loaded into the printer (similar to how you would load paper into a typical computer printer). 

The media comes in 1-inch widths, and 1-inch width with a 1/2-inch (length-wise) perforation. The perforated media is recommended as it works well for organizations which handle both cats and dogs. When using the perforated media for a cat or small dog, you would print the collar and then split the collar length-wise so the collar is 1/2-inch wide. For a medium size or larger dog, you would not split the collar and the pet would be wearing a 1-inch collar.

Pricing and order forms

Shelter Pro is a distributor of the Pet Detect system and is able to offer discounted pricing. After purchasing the printer, the average cost per collar will be approximately 30 cents each. To get started with Pet Detect, you would order a "Starter Kit" which includes the printer and the first roll of media (which will produce approximately 70 collars). You would also order additional media rolls so that you have a supply which would last at least 6 months before re-ordering additional rolls. To be compatible, you must have Shelter Pro Software version 9.14 or higher.
