Collars and tags - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Just a quick question; I see a lot of people change their Yorkie's/dog's collars to match what they're wearing (or for whatever reason)....do you have a separate ID tag on each one, or do you remove their id tag from one to the other? I was just curious, as I want to have different collars but it's kind of a hassle to remove the tag and switch over to another collar. On the other hand, it's kind of expensive to have a separate tag for 20 different collars

. Is there a simple solution that I'm missing? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Bella has an id necklace that is never removed.
Here is a pic of what i got and it was about 10 bucks.

I been wanting to ask about tags as well. Aurora chews on them until the ring breaks that holds her tags on. She usually has no tags on when she goes out now....she is always in her stroller so not worried about running off and she knows to stay back from the door...but still. Any suggestions for keeping her tags on her?

If you want to get more id tags to put on several collars you can search on Ebay and they are really cheap. I got four for like $7 and they have all designs and colors.

The only time any of mine wear a collar is when I take them somewhere, then they have their ID tag and rabies tag on it. So they only have one collar. And I REALLY like them so I don't swap them.

I use a lobster clasp on my tag & it easily switches from one collar to another.

Thats a smart idea, I think that is what I will do for Jeter when he gets here in December. What information is best to put on the ID? some do not like to put the name of puppy on them. Suggestions welcomed please, this is my first puppy sense I was a young kid!

I haven't seen those before. Very interesting. Do they fit like a collar and do you ever worry about it getting caught on something and choking her? Do you have a link to them?

Get a claw clip to put the ID tag on and just take if off each time you switch collars. Easier. All I put on my girls clip is the St. Francis ID (protector of animals) with name, home phone and cell phone # only and their bling. I don't put the shot tags and chip tags. Not necessary anyway.

I'm really surprised your not having trouble with that type of chain pulling an tangling the hair. Someone I know bought that and it was a mess in her dogs hair so she had to stop useing it.

Thanks~ yes, all I put is Max's tag with his name and my phone number, just in case something should happen while we're out. The only other tag he's got is his chip tag; we don't have rabies tags here that I know of; just a certificate. I like the idea of the claw clip; I'm going to get some tomorrow!
