I heard that too, but I figured if someone got close enough to read their name on the tag, they already had them in hand. No need to call them to come. God forbid that happens I just hope it's a good person who will return him to me

. I do keep him VERY close to me at all times tho, couldn't bear to lose him

. He's an inside dog tho, only goes outside with me.

I have ordered from boomerangtags.com last week. Hoping to receive it soon. The dingo one looks good but I want to be able to fit more info on it. I wanted something durable and able to put in a lot of information on it so I ordered a 2 sided stainless steel small bone tag from them and felt good enough with their testimonials. Wished I have seen the fastag sooner. They are cute. Maybe I will order another one for his harness

Not sure if I can justify buying another tag to hubby though. Is the fastag durable and able to withstand the test of time?

Edited to add: I have put in his name and my address. Maybe having his name on the tag will actually help someone to call him over if he is lost. And to justify putting my address on it which to some people it is not smart, I just like the fact that if someone finds him, it will be easier to return him. I have heard of people putting vet's phone number on the tag the vet will not provide info on the owner because of privaacy issue so I skip the vet's number. If someone wants to steal him, it will not make a difference whether there is an address on it or not. And I put 5 phone numbers on it just in case.

Talking about ID tag earlier on, I have just receive Pao's bone tag from boomerang! It looks neat even with so many words that I wanted to put in and the letters can be seen clearly. He looks so cute with a bone pendant dangling

. I also bought him a car shaped charm but I am afraid if the ID tag rub against the pet charm worn together, it wouldn't last as long.

No matter where you get your pets ID tags...there is one important thing to add to it so that your dog has a much better chance of getting returned to you. I have been doing rescue for a long time. If you dogs gets lost, or (heaven forbid) stolen from you...most people who find it might want to keep a cute little doggie, it is very tempting, especially with yorkies...but one way to get them back...even if it is stolen...write this on your tag
"NEEDS DAILY MEDICATION"

Most people would not want to keep a dog it they think it will cost them money. Medical problems with pets are expensive, so your dog is much more likely to get returned to you if this is on your tag.
