What is the difference between RFID bioglass tags and traditional pet tags?
In the field of pet identification, RFID bioglass tag and traditional PET tags have a large market, but they are different in many aspects.
From the durability point of view, the traditional pet tag is mostly made of metal or plastic material, which is easy to wear due to the pet’s scratching, collision or erosion of the outdoor environment, and wear and tear, discolouration, and even loss. On the contrary, RFID bioglass tags are implanted under the pet’s skin, cleverly avoiding direct physical harm from the outside world, with high stability, almost unaffected by the pet’s daily activities, and can play a stable role for a long time.
Security is also a key dimension in the comparison between the two. Traditional pet tags are hung conspicuously on the pet’s neck, with the owner’s contact information etc. This is certainly convenient for others to view, but there is also the risk of privacy leakage, which may be used by unruly elements to harass the owner. RFID bioglass tags, on the other hand, require a professional scanner to read the information inside the tag and cannot be accessed by unauthorized personnel, which greatly protects the owner’s privacy and security.
In terms of information storage capacity, the traditional pet tag is limited by the size of the tag, usually can only be inscribed with the pet’s name, the owner’s phone number and a small amount of basic information. RFID bioglass tags are like a small database, which can not only store the owner’s detailed contact information, but also the pet’s vaccination history, past disease diagnosis and treatment records, pedigree information and other information, providing comprehensive support for pet health management and identity traceability.
In terms of identification convenience, the traditional pet tag relies on the naked eye to identify, if the pet is in a distant position, hair cover or dim light environment, it is difficult for others to see the information above.RFID bioglass tag with advanced radio frequency identification technology, just need to staff holding a scanner near the pet, instantly can accurately read the chip information, no matter what complex scene the pet is in, can quickly complete the identity confirmation.
At the cost-benefit level, the initial purchase cost of traditional pet tags is low, but the cumulative cost of frequent replacement due to loss and damage should not be underestimated, while the initial implantation of RFID bioglass tags requires a certain amount of surgical and microchip fees, which is relatively high, but its “once implanted, lifelong us” feature can save money for pet owners in the long run.
In a comprehensive comparison, RFID bioglass tags have obvious advantages in durability, security, information storage, identification convenience and long-term consideration of cost-effectiveness, and are gradually becoming the mainstream choice for pet identification, although traditional pet tags still have some applicability in some scenarios due to their simple, intuitive and low-cost features.
