About Dogtag
DOGTAG 100% Proof Travel Insurance is more than just travel insurance. We issue every insured person a personalised stainless steel Dogtag and it serves 3 purposes:


- It carries the 24 hour travel emergency contact details – this means you’ll always have emergency contact numbers on your person while on your travels.
- It carries your name and your unique Dogtag identity number – this means you can easily identify yourself if you need to call us and it also means you don’t need to go looking for paperwork.
- It carries the Dogtag emergency web address and your Tag Number – this enables you or, say, a medic treating you, to go online and by logging in to your own emergency page, find important information whih you have displayd there. This could simply be to prove that you're insured, see your next of kin’s contact details, your doctor’s contact details and check any vital medical information that you have entered on your account.
All of this is unique to Dogtag and it can prove vital in an emergency.
What does 100% Proof Travel Insurance mean?When you travel abroad, you may be in a country where standards are different from those at home. Invariably, foreign medics will want to know that they are going to get paid for treating you BEFORE they treat you. With Dogtag you can prove you’re insured. You simply wear your stainless steel Dogtag around your neck; let's face it, you won't be going surfing with your paper insurance documents tucked into your swimwear! DOGTAG's web-based verification system quickly proves to a foreign medic that you are insured. If they are still not convinced then our contact details are on your tag along with your own Emergency web page. Time is crucial, and take it from us, clinics WILL want to know you are covered before they start any treatment: it happened to us, it’s why we invented DOGTAG.
Your stainless steel Dogtag is laser engraved with your Name, your Personal Tag number and the Dogtag emergency phone number and web address. By accessing your Medical information Page a medic or other privileged person can view a read-only page with details of your insurance cover. They can also view any relevant medical information you choose to make available as well as the people you'd want to have contacted in an emergency.
We’re also aware that you’ll want to know what your travel insurance covers you for without reading tons of small print. We cover many sports and activities with the standard Sport level and you can upgrade for higher risk sports like mountaineering and skydiving too. It’s all easily available by checking the Sports button on the navigation bar as is policy information by clicking the Policies button on the navigation bar. Knowing that you are insured for your sport means you can go at it 100%.
Medical Information PageBy using your membership log-in and password, you can access your Medical Information file and enter details that you think may be useful to a medic in the event of an emergency. We sought the advice of leading paramedics in drawing up the table of information that medics would most likely want to see in the case of an emergency.
When you log in, you get full read/write access to your file. A medic, using your Dogtag will be able to see a read-only version of the information you choose to display. This information might include such essential information as your blood type, any medication you are taking or allergies. You can also display your next of kin. Of course, your Dogtag is needed to access this information so we advise you to wear it at all times when you’re on your travels.
