I'm part of a lot of local facebook pages that post a lot of lost and found dogs on their. Well I was surprised by how many didn't have a collar. There is always a chance your dog could get out and wouldn't you want them to have id on them so you could get them back asap. Lots of people don't know about chips and if they do it is a trip somewhere that they may put off, but you are freaking out about you dog. Its so much easier to have a tag with your cell number on it. Some of the things people don't think about is what if a repairman comes while your gone and accidentally lets them out, what if a family member who has a key comes over and they slip out the door, what if there is a serious weather issue like a tornado that damages part of your house when your gone and they get out, what if someone breaks in and lets them out, or what if you think you gates in your back yard are shut and you let the dogs out and someone had opened them. There are so many things that could happen so it would be easier and safe to just tag them. It's very rare that bad things happen with collars. Collars themselves also do not cause CT and you can put a collar on a dog with CT just don't pull on it. Please collar and tag your dogs.
