A tag, but ONLY on a cat break away collar....then if it gets hung on something and the dog fights feverishly to keep from being hung, the collar breaks away and your pup is not injured....Microchipping is the surest way to get your dog back, I think. If someone finds a dog they want to keep, they wont run to the vet to have it scanned for a microchip....and all they will do with a collar and tags is remove and throw them in the trash!
I really do believe one day soon, the "people in charge" are going to mandate microchipping all pets...... and scanning for a chip will be law/required by any animal care facility, such as a vet, a rescue, a groomer, the pound, etc. If a chip is found, it will go on the record of the dog, and the facility will have to notify the owner, if the owner is not standing in front of them. |
