A natural disaster can strike without warning. Sometimes even with a warning, you are too busy preparing and forget to put your dog's tags on.
It doesn't have to be a natural disaster that puts your dog's safety at risk. A car accident or house fire are both events where your dog could become lost.
In all of these situations, an indoor-only dog could get lost. You won't have time to put your dog's tags on. So prepare in advance so your dog is ready for the unexpected.
People are more likely to stop and help an animal if they think it is a pet. One easy way to signal that your dog is a family pet is with a collar and tags.
Without a tag and collar, people might think your dog is a stray. This will cause them to hesitate to assist.
When someone finds your microchipped dog, they have to take them to a vet's office. The vet then scans the chip to know who the owner is. If your dog is also wearing ID tags, the finder can immediately contact you.
If your dog has any medical problems a tag is a perfect way to let others know. This could include allergies or medical needs.
If your dog is blind or deaf a tag is a good way to let others know. This is important so that someone doesn't startle them unintentionally.
The tag for your pet should include key information that will help someone return them to you. Include your pet's name, and your phone number at a minimum.
Putting a cell phone number is more useful these days than a home phone number. This also lets you answer a call no matter where you are.
If your dog has a microchip you should include a second tag. This tag will have the microchip company name and their phone number.
It is smart to have your dog wear their rabies vaccination tag. This lets the person who finds your dog know they are up to date.
This rabies number can also be a way for someone to identify and contact you. Some states have laws that state your dog must wear their rabies tag.
Attach the tags to the D-ring, the tag rings aren't capable of withstanding the pulling from the leash. If the leash gets attached to the tag ring you will end up breaking it.
If the clinking of the tags bothers you, get the rubber bumpers. The rubber goes around each tag to quiet them when they move against each other.
Another great option is to have a nameplate riveted onto the collar. This is the perfect solution for those who hate that jingle sound tags make. Having the tag secured directly to the collar reduces the risk of them getting lost.
You should update your pet ID tags every time your phone number changes. The rabies tag should get changed out every time your pet gets revaccinated.
As your dog runs around the tags will wear down. Replace them when it becomes difficult to read the tags. It is smart to keep a spare set or two around the house.
Having your dog wear ID tags makes all the difference if they get lost. With one in three getting lost at some point, there is a big chance of your dog getting lost.
A tag will let others know your dog is a loved family pet and not a stray. This will get your help faster and home sooner.
Tags are also a faster way of getting your pup back than microchips. Whoever finds your dog will have to take them to a vet or shelter to read the chip. A chip would let them call the number on the tag.
Once you have tags on your dog, you'll want to check them periodically to make sure they are still legible. Tags are of no use if you can't read the information on them.
