but the collar could also get caught and hurt the puppy or worse :/
but i wouldn't feel my baby would be safe if she ever got lost without a tag :/(not that that sort of thing is ever planned) if found some people wont touch dogs without tags to help them- fear of rabies is understandable, or if she was taken to a shelter than they wouldn't know to call me!- the first time my first dog got loose the only way she made it home was cuz a nice guy on the other side of town tried to pet her-she was incredibly friendly - and found her tags and called us to let us know he found her.
I ordered one of the flat 'no sound' slide on belt style tags- would that make it any safer? (less loose things to get caught? )
anyway- i figure some personal experience of others might help me with this . |
Get your dogged microchipped! When stray/found dogs are taken to shelters/vets, they are scanned for a microchip. You register the microchip with your contact information.
