One question-where do you put the dog tags on a harness?

thanks!
Won Ton, great name and adorable little fur ball!
This collar issue can be a very confusing; at least it is for me. My dogs are micro-chipped, and do not wear collars. They wear adorable harnesses for walking, i.e. dresses and vests with d rings. (Thanks Shanatink, sorry I have not posted pictures) If you leave a harness of any type on for long periods of time they will matt, so that will not help with tags. Micro chipping is great, and I recommend it, however not all vets scan for micro chipping, and many people are not aware of this fairly new procedure. So if my baby was lost or stolen and the vet does not scan, he/she would think the person bringing in my dog was the owner. Additionally, if one of my babies got out and someone found them without ID tags many people would think I’m not a good mom, as I don’t care enough to get my kids tags and would keep them. In my humble opinion, micro chipping is great if your dog is turned into the humane society, but for every day life I prefer collars and ID tags. If my dog is found by a nice honest human being and is tagged, they simply have to call and I have my baby back. As of now my kids are still collarless, but I am seriously considering getting them collars with tags, as they are almost 1 year old and not tiny. The jury is still out for my little buffalo butts getting tags, but as for little puppies, collars are not the best idea.

Almost forgot, WELCOME to YT, you will enjoy it here...
