“We’d recommend Doggone to any pet owner!”

Our lovely dog Pepper snuck out a side gate that was accidentally left unlatched. Thanks to Doggone, the person that found her was able to contact us instantly to arrange for us to get Pepper back home safe and sound. The service was totally seamless! The person that found Pepper said the service was ‘top notch’ and that the process was ‘easy peasy’. We’d recommend Doggone to any pet owner.

SUCCESS STORIES

“Huge amount of comfort”

For pet owners, there’s nothing scarier than losing a pet. It’s like losing a child. Being quickly reunited with our boy gave us a huge amount of comfort. We were involved with the two year pilot in Lower Hutt and think Doggone should become part of dog registration for all Councils.

HAPPY PETS. HAPPIER OWNERS.

It’s great to have Doggone’s service to help ensure the safe return of our fur buddies. The thought of our precious wee man wandering off and getting lost is not something I really want to think about – but all too often those sniffy noses get the better of them when you turn your back. I love that Doggone gives people an instant and easy way to get in contact with me, while protecting privacy of personal details.

Thank you Doggone for being there a couple of cold and dark nights ago when my Labrador went outside for what I thought would be a quick pre-bedtime toilet. When she didn’t quickly return, I worried and got in my car to look for her, and in the meantime received a message from Doggone telling me of her whereabouts which was a huge relief. Thank you Doggone for putting my mind at rest so quickly.

Marian, Eastbourne

Pet reunited through Doggone's service

We were quickly reunited with our run-away this morning. Seeing the front door was accidentally left open, he took his chances and was off! Fortunately someone with the Doggone app saw him wandering and used the ‘Report a Wandering Dog’ feature, which immediately sent a notification to us that he had been spotted out wandering alone. We then also received a call from someone else that saw our dog out and about – that person texted his tag number to Doggone’s free text service to get in touch with us. We just loved that we had a happy ending!

Robert, Lower Hutt

Doggone makes it super easy to protect your best friend and I wouldn’t be without it. I really appreciate the peace of mind that it gives me for my beautiful pup. So good to know that we can be reunited immediately! Anyone that cares for their dog should have Doggone.

Delwyn, Christchurch

Pet protected by Doggone

If a dog goes AWOL, it’s good to know that there is now a quick way to reunite them with their owner. We were able to reunite a Labrador with its owner earlier this week and it was so quick and easy. Doggone’s service was much faster than other options that we’ve tried before, which were typically a really long process. We also loved that we saved the owner money, stress and avoided their dog being impounded.

Shelley, Lower Hutt

Pet reunited through Doggone's service

I have been looking after this wee beauty for a few days while her family were away. It was great to know that she was wearing a Doggone tag. It gave me peace of mind knowing that anyone could immediately get in touch with me if she managed to do a runner. The owner said it only took a few seconds for them to update the emergency contact details in the App so that the tag would provide my number while they were away.

Morgan, Christchurch

Pet protected by Doggone

Doggone is a great initiative and their dog tags bring peace of mind. I feel confident letting my Greyhound run along the beach and out in large parks knowing that I have the Doggone app to fall back on if he runs out of sight. The app is simple to use, and it’s a simple way to help reunite doggos in the community with their humans. I hope my Council jumps on board with Doggone soon.

Jodie, Masterton

Pet protected by Doggone

Super user-friendly app and incredibly easy to set up. Such a great initiative and the peace of mind knowing our new pup has some sort of safety net if he ever takes off is invaluable.

Alex, Wellington

I have tried out the Doggone app and think it’s brilliant. It means if my dogs go walkabout, I can find out where they are immediately and that is very reassuring. I wish Selwyn Council would use these tags as dog registration tags.

Sylvia, West Melton, Selwyn

We wanted to have everything in place to keep our puppy safe when we got her. So naturally we got her a Doggone tag. It was a no-brainer.

Anything to help an owner be reunited with their missing dog is amazing. It can be a very stressful and emotional time – which I know through personal experience. We were extremely grateful to get our pup back so quickly – thanks Doggone!

We love the Doggone app. It is very accurate in location when we have been out and about and we love the peace of mind it gives us knowing that if our dog was to get lost, it’s a quick and easy way of helping find him. I also love that it can assist other dog owners if their pooch goes missing. I wish Wellington City Council would get on board with this amazing technology and adopt it in our region.

Rebecca, Wellington

Doggone is so cool. It was really simple to download the app and set up the profiles for our two dogs. Everything is working as it should. A big thank you to Doggone – we’re very grateful for this service!

Our beautiful dog went wandering again. We are so thankful for Doggone’s service – through it, we’ve been reunited with her a number of times saving money and stress!

Marian, Lower Hutt

Pet reunited through Doggone's service

Our three munchkins are so precious to us, that when I heard about Doggone, it was a no-brainer. Just the security of knowing that if they choose to do a runner, we can trace them. I wish I had known about this service earlier as it certainly would have come in handy and relieved a lot of stress when they have wandered off in the past. Now all we need is for Christchurch City Council to come on board. This is a better solution for everyone. Thanks Doggone!

Rachel, Christchurch

After our Houdini sneaked out when the garage door was open for five minutes, and the two hour stress until we found her – it would have been great to have had the Doggone tag and app then. We’ve got Doggone now, so we’re all sorted if it happens again!

Blake, Whitby

Pet protected by Doggone

Doggone is an incredibly helpful service which I’ve found to be hugely valuable. Doggone really helped out when my dog Wyla learnt how to jump our fence and started escaping while I was at work. This happened on a few occasions and thanks to Doggone I was contacted by a friendly local that kept her safe while I made my way home to collect her.

Jo, Lower Hutt

Pet reunited through Doggone's service

It’s hugely reassuring to know that if my dog does wander then it’s easy for anyone to get in contact with me. The team at Doggone have always been a pleasure to deal with, answering my questions. I will continue to subscribe to Doggone – it’s a very small cost for the peace of mind and the service provided.

Jessy, Lower Hutt

Although I haven’t lost my current pet, I did lose a pup a few years ago and still remember the stress of walking streets, door knocking, and contacting the Pound to see if anyone had found him. Turned out he was down the road in a house playing with kids … but it took me four hours to find him! Doggone would have made it a five minute job to locate him. I’m very happy to have access to Doggone’s service now for my dog.

Dianne, Lower Hutt

When I was out of town recently and someone else was left in charge, the front door was accidentally left open, so Bella took herself for a walk. While off on her adventure she introduced herself to a new neighbour at the end of the street that she hadn’t previously met. Fortunately they used Doggone’s free text service displayed on her tag and we were notified immediately of where she was. All was sorted in no time and we got Bella back home safe and sound.

Lisa, Lower Hutt

My dog got out and I was able to track him on the app to see which way down the street he went. By using the Doggone app, I was able to find him quickly and get him back safe.

We had a legitimate return due to the Doggone tag on our pup last night, not knowing that she had escaped. It was brilliant!

Michelle, Lower Hutt

Roxy managed to slip her lead while secured at home and take off on an adventure. She wandered around the neighbourhood and found a friendly-looking home and joined in on some ‘family time’ in their lounge! Fortunately she was wearing her Doggone tag so it was a simple matter of texting her tag number to Doggone’s 4133 text number to get her back home with us. It’s a great service, and it was so good to get her back home safely, and quickly.

Lee, Lower Hutt

Pet reunited through Doggone's service

As the owner of a dog who has previously gone missing, it would have been really helpful to have had an App and service like Doggone around then to help. Responsible owners want to take the best care of their dogs, and the peace of mind that this service offers is brilliant.

Jamie, Carterton

Pet protected by Doggone

We came across a wandering dog this week and it was a simple matter of texting the dog’s tag number to 4133, Doggone’s text service. All the details were clearly shown on the dog’s tag. It was really good to see how it worked. We have Doggone for our two dogs and it gave us peace of mind to know that a dog can be reunited with its owner really quickly. We were pleased to be able to help so quickly and that stress was kept to a minimum.

Tina, Lower Hutt

Pet reunited through Doggone's service

I love that Doggone is using technology for good! Reuniting furbabies with their families. As a dog owner, knowing I have an extra tool in my tool kit if my adventurous pup decided to make a run for it, has made me feel so much better.

Claire, Stokes Valley

It’s unlike Charlie to just take off, but he did that last Friday night when we were walking down at the river. Our relaxed together-time quickly became really stressful when Charlie ‘legged it’ and was nowhere to be seen. Luckily he was wearing a Doggone tag and the person that found him was able to contact us straight away through the text service shown on his tag. That panic feeling just took over when Charlie took off and I lost sight of him, but happy to say that within five minutes I could breathe again with him safe and sound.

Dan, Lower Hutt

Mark, Lower Hutt

We were really happy to be able to reunite a wandering dog with its owner yesterday. When the dog came on to our property, it was a simple matter of texting 4133 with the dog’s tag number. We had seen the stories of dogs being reunited with Doggone so I was really pleased to see how easy and quick it was. It’s such an awesome service, and gives you reassurance that anyone could help your dog if it was ever needed.

Piki, Lower Hutt

Pet reunited through Doggone's service

Loving our text tag from Doggone. So easy to update details in the app to make sure that we can always be contacted if the unthinkable happens. It’s a bit of a no-brainer really – why wouldn’t you have one for your pet?

Mark, Christchurch

Sahara wandered off on Friday afternoon and visited a neighbour at the other end of the street that we haven’t met yet. They texted Sahara’s tag number to Doggone’s 4133 number and we were able to be quickly reunited with her. This is exactly why we have got Doggone and it worked perfectly.

My dog hasn’t escaped, but it doesn’t mean he won’t. I’ve seen many dogs wandering or come to ‘visit’ and the owners would have been found much quicker if the dog had been wearing a Doggone tag.

Lea, Lower Hutt

Not realising Bella had left the property and thinking she was safe and sound at home, it was good to receive the call. She had climbed through the fence and went for a wander. Some people came across her and used Doggone’s text service shown her tag and they were able to get in touch with us straight away. What a relief to get her back home so quickly.

Jackie, Lower Hutt

Pet reunited through Doggone's service

While visiting friends in Wellington on the weekend, our beautiful dog managed to head off on an unscheduled wander! Facing an already stressful situation, it was made worse by not being in our own neighbourhood where people know her. We were delighted to be contacted by someone who had found her and used Doggone’s free text service to get in touch with us. We were so relieved.

Jane, Lower Hutt

A visitor accidentally left the gate open which allowed Kensal to head off to explore around the neighbourhood. He made it quite a way before someone in the neighbourhood saw him and used the free text service on his Doggone tag. We were really thankful to be reunited with him so quickly – it was amazing and couldn’t have worked better.

I love how easy it is to see where my dog is in the App. The information provided by Doggone was very clear and gives me confidence that anyone could use this.

I am a very happy puppy owner having just been reunited with my wee one. Someone in the community used the Doggone app to mark my pup as a ‘wandering dog’ when they saw her out walking alone. This sent me an immediate notification through the app showing me exactly where she was. We are just so incredibly grateful.

Marie, Lower Hutt

The peace of mind is priceless and Tracy and the Doggone team are incredibly kind and clearly care about their clients and their dogs. I feel super lucky to have access to a service that gives me the ability to see my dog’s location at all times. I will continue to subscribe to Doggone.

We have been involved with Doggone from the beginning and think it is a great service. A couple of times we have reunited neighbourhood dogs who were also wearing Doggone tags.

Michaela, Lower Hutt

I was able to easily reunite a beautiful young dog with its owner by using the ‘Report a Wandering Dog’ feature in the Doggone app. It was a pleasure to be able to help – it’s just about communication, and it was easy peasy. Coco’s owners were so grateful when they got her back.

Thanks to Doggone’s text reunite service, we were reunited with Pepper really quickly on Sunday night. Making the most of the new daylight saving hours, I was out doing some landscaping work at home when she slipped out the side gate to take herself for a walk.

When on holiday on the West Coast recently, our dog managed to lose his brand new collar, Council tag and Doggone tag. This was going to be a time-consuming and expensive exercise to replace it all.

Thanks Doggone has keeping our Choccie safe. She occasionally likes to sneak off on a wee adventure … nothing too far, but she’s little and not very worldly wise.

Scooby had the opportunity to do a runner the other day when a visitor left the front door open at home. He wandered off and got caught out in a rain storm. Soaking wet, he made his way in to a house a street away. Thankfully he was wearing his Doggone tag. The people that found him had just moved in to the neighbourhood and didn’t know him. They used Doggone’s free-text service and Scooby was home safe and sound in no time.

When a visitor was leaving our house, Sammie thought that we were leaving with them in the car. Giving chase, she raced after the car until she had to give up. She was found lying down and panting on the footpath quite a long way from home. Luckily Sammie was wearing her Doggone tag which has Doggone’s 4133 text service on it. A quick call was made and Sammie was quickly returned to us safe and sound. I can laugh about it now, but at the time I would have gone crazy with worry if Sammie had gone missing for long. I am very grateful to Doggone and to the person that found Sammie.

Doggone is ground breaking as it uses everyday technology with an easy to use app, to connect fur babies with their owners and allows anyone in the community to reunite furry wanderers with their owners.

When the skies lit up in the Hutt Valley on Saturday night with an early celebration of Guy Fawkes, Snoopy took off in terror, escaping the safety of home. We were out when she did her vanishing act, and the first we knew that she’d disappeared was when we got a call to say that she’d been found, safe and sound. The people that found Snoopy used Doggone’s free text service to get in touch with us. We were so grateful – it could have been a very different story!

We really love how the Doggone app and tag make it so easy to protect our big boy. Really reassuring.

We are so grateful for Doggone – our beloved Cees (Case) decided he was a bit over lockdown despite his many walks. He took advantage of distracted kids and let himself out for an extra walk on his own, but luckily it was just a short walk thanks to Doggone. Through Doggone’s free text service we were contacted and reunited with our big guy. Contactless collection of course!

Doggone is fantastic! I think all dogs should have it.

I think these Doggone tags should be compulsory when registering a dog anywhere in New Zealand.

I love the fact that if my dog went missing the Doggone app and the smart tag would give me options on getting them back as quickly as possible. Having been in the situation of having my puppy stolen, the technology that the Doggone tag provides would have given me more avenues to maybe get her back. When you are in that situation, all options available to the owner need to be easy to access because the panic is blinding. People that adore their dogs will definitely opt for the Doggone tag.
