I purchased her a breakaway cat collar seeing that she is a tiny little squirt! I know its never safe to leave her in the house alone with a collar so that she doesn't get caught on something (thank goodness for breakaway collars ).
Collars for tags are a big source of debate. Yes, definitely safe to wear on walks (you can also put tags on the harness D-ring). When unsupervised, there is potential for accidents with collars. A breakaway collar prevents that.

On the other hand, collars with ID tags have saved many Yorkies here when the dogs got out of the house unexpectedly.

Whichever you choose, I recommend microchipping your baby as well.
