There are two important reasons to license your dog in The City of Boulder.

The DocuPet Story

Pet licenses are really important. When lost pets end up in shelters, those with license tags are much more likely to be returned home. Also, license fees help support critical community initiatives. When we learned that across the United States a mere 13% of pet owners license their animals, we found our mission.

We've partnered with the The City of Boulder to make every pet license as valuable to you as it is to animal safety.

Tags That Help All Pets

Our tags help lost pets get home safely. They also help fund local initiatives that find safe and happy homes for Boulder's most vulnerable animals.

Now in The City of Boulder, you can choose from our selection of fun tag designs. We can also etch your pet's name and your phone number on each.

Any tag choose will be your official license tag. Cool, huh?

Safe & Happy Fund

Our mission is to help provide a safe and happy home for every pet. Our commitment to this mission extends beyond improvements to pet license tags and registration programs. We also directly support local animal welfare charities by donating 20% of all product purchases including custom tags, and by collecting donations from pet owners.

The net proceeds of all funds collected in Boulder through our Safe and Happy Fund go to support local animal welfare initiatives.
