Dog Tag Info

[BC_MoM]

Just out of curiousity, what do you guys put on your dog's tags?

On another board I am on, there is a discussion as to whether or not it is wise to put the name of your dog on it.

Why You SHOULDN'T:
- Someone could want to keep it even more if they know the name
- It would be harder to proove it was yours if there was a fight over the finders and the real owners

Why You SHOULD:
- The dog will (or may) feel more comfortable around those who call it by name
- It will follow you home more willingly if you know it's name

So.. what do you put on your dog's tags?

[Jessika]

I just have my dog's name and a telephone number. I find having an address isn't really necessary since if they get loose in my neighborhood, they probably already know where they live anyway since EVERYONE knows my two. And secondly its just.. not necessary, IMO. What if I move? What if I go out of town and bring them with me and they get loose there? An address won't do any good then.

Oh and I don't see how having their name on it or not would make it "hard" to prove who the real owner is. If you have your dog microchipped, that's all the "proof" you need.

[Glacier]

I have phone numbers and address on one side and REWARD FOR RETURN on the other.

[KYS]

I have address and 2 phone numbers on id tags.
One dog is chipped and the other one has a tatoo.

[Ginger's Mom]

Dog's Name
Phone number
Our town

I am not comfortable having my home address on it. As long as my phone number is on there they can contact me. And she is microchiped (I have got to remember to put that tag on her as well).

[Ree'sKujo]

I agree Ginger.I have Kujo's name and mt phone# on his tag.He to is microchipped so all they have to do is call the # on the micro tag and they'll get in touch with me.

[Kfamr]

Front - Their name.
Back -
Palm Harbor
FL 34683
#(xxx)xxx-xxxx


All 3 are microchipped and our information comes up when scanned.
Besides that, *knock on wood* I don't think my 3 would get away, none of them have ever tried charging out the door or gate. I don't think they'd come to a complete stranger either.

I have phone numbers and address on one side and REWARD FOR RETURN on the other.

Probably wise considering you have all dogs whose breeds are known for escaping and running for the sake of running!
