Opening Paragraph
Microchips are fantastic—but a collar can make all the difference.
We get this question a lot:
“My dog already has a microchip. Do I still need an ID collar?”
Real-World Context
Here’s the thing: Microchips require a scanner and a trip to a vet or shelter to read them.
When a pet goes missing, the most common rescuers are everyday people—kind strangers who spot your furry friend.
Stats show that the highest recovery rates come from these good Samaritans.
In those critical moments, an ID collar offers the fastest, simplest way to connect.
Silicollar Philosophy
Our philosophy is straightforward:
A collar should be an everyday essential.
You clip on the leash, and you’re good to go.
So why not make that same collar double as reliable ID?

Silicollar in daily use—no extra tags, no pairing required.
Product Functionality
That’s where Silicollar shines.
Setup is simple—we provide a free NFC writing app to get you started.
Once programmed, anyone can tap the collar with their smartphone and instantly access your contact info.
No app downloads, no pairing hassles, and no need for you to be involved.
If the finder opts to share their location,
you’ll receive an instant notification complete with a map—putting you one step closer to a reunion.
Best of all, you can update your info anytime—no engraving required, and no worries about wear and tear.

We don’t just say it—we prove it.
Silicollar is built for daily wear.
It’s skin-friendly, fully waterproof, and rigorously tested by SGS to withstand up to 64.5 kgf of pulling force—
making it just as durable as traditional nylon or leather collars.
Closing Philosophy
A microchip is your essential safety net.
Silicollar is your go-to everyday ID.
It doesn’t replace the chip; it complements it—
making identification quicker, easier, and seamlessly integrated into your pet’s routine.
