YES I DO!!!! And I strongly recommend you do too! I didn't have an ID tag on Bella when she was little, but after reading all the things that can and HAVE happened to people, I made it a priority to get Bella one right away. She is microchipped, so my thinking was, "if she's found and the person would actually give her back anyway, they would take her somewhere they could scan her to find me", but then I read a story a lady told on YT about hosting a dinner party, keeping her dogs in the back room "locked up" essentially, but somehow, when the guests were leaving, one of them got out of the room and out the door. Her neighbor found the dog and called the number on the ID tag......when she got the call, she didn't even know the dog was missing yet!! Because of the tag, she got the dog back that night instead of worrying all weekend, because it was a Friday or Saturday night, and the man most likely wouldn't have taken the dog anywhere to have it scanned until Monday morning. Good example of why a tag is a really good idea, even it the dog is chipped. AND, I also read about what should be on your tag too....mine says

REWARD! NEEDS MEDS!
*Microchipped* (this line is on the back)

That way the person who finds her knows her name and my phone number and will be more likely to call me for the reward since A) the reward is coming for sure whereas he/she may or may not be able to sell her very quickly (if that thought ever entered into their mind that is) and B) they may be less likely to keep or try to sell a dog that may be sick. And, I just put "Microchipped" on the tag because I don't use the tag that comes with the microchip because it has the chip # on it, and I read where a person found a dog and because they had the chip # off the tag, were able to change the name and address on that tag so that it appeared they were the owner. When a dog is scanned, they can tell which company they need to call to get that information, so there's no reason to have the chip # or even the company name or # on the tag at all!!!

Hope that helps!
