I only take mine off for meals. The clinking against the bowl is annoying. Right afer meals he sits still so i can put them back on. Too cute....His little eyes suck you into his little face and you can't help but smile

very true

Joey and Tank used to chew, but outgrew it within a few weeks after we got them...I think it's just the initial getting used to the collar.

I do plan on having him chipped when he is neutered next months. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

tags but put them in the back of the harness ok that way they dont chew it. i dont use leashes im scared of collapsed trachea *gulps*

2--If someone steals your pup, he likely is short on cash. the reward might entice him to return the little dog that he "found".

I am a firm believer in tags. Some people here are afraid they pose a danger, but I don't know of a single specific example where a dog has actually been harmed by tags. And collars are OK if they are just used to hold the tag and if they are fitted properly. When walking on leash, you should use a harness.

Puppies might chew a tag initially, but they outgrow it.

Both of my dogs have collars and tags. They feel naked without them, and they come to me and sit patiently while I put them on. The collar/tags are only removed at bath time.

i agree with u i still use collars im in the process of ordering this cute tag online but i use harness for walking. how do u get them to sit still while putting stuff on them ? plz share

I buy my tags here: Boomerang Pet Tags: Guaranteed to last. Mailed today, Free Shipping. and I buy the plastic ones. they are thick and tough and very lightweight as well. No noise either

If you are concerned about the tag getting caught then you can use the collar tag, it slides onto the collar and doesn't hang down. My dad used to use them on his hunting dogs.

Think I posted the link before here but I just got a coupon code for 18% off at:

Code is: ZF62S4SX
My email said this is for "loyal customers" so I don't know if it will work for someone if they haven't ordered before - but my experience with these types of codes is that they will work.

What size tag did you get? How small is your dog?

I always buy the heart ones, size medium for the small dogs. I bought the small once for Kizzie (3.5 pounds) but it wasn't large enough for the info and I couldn't read it..lol..

I also like these: Two-sided Pet Tags : Kings Kreations

They are fun, you can pick patterns, use your own, and even pick the fonts. I have gotten the small and the large, I like the large more, for the dogs over 4 pounds they are fine too. They have enamel over them so they don't make noise and they last pretty good so far.

I have used them just for their chip info on a couple of my dogs because I hate the ones from AVID and home again and they already had the plastic ones.

I like that I can put stuff on both sides of the plastic ones from boomerang. Then I put the chip info on there plus my number and on the back I put REWARD

So does everyone put a collar on their pup with a tag on it or do you use a harness with a tag on it. I would feel better with a harness/tag, but am not sure it would be all that comfortable.

Collar for my dogs, also they each have a charm

A harness is more for going on the leash, not something to be worn all the time. When a harness is put on the collar stays on.. Some people don't though I suppose. The harness wouldn't be to comfortable to wear all the time I would think. plus, more wear on their coat.

Thanks.

Check out J.B. Pets online. They have collars you can get personalized with your dog's name, address, etc. They have some very neat things and the prices are reasonable.

Come, stay, chips, they are all great until they don't work. Any dog is capable of running after something that is just too much to resist, and mine recently snuck out the door and ran next door to see his friends. He just kept banging on the screen door till it let go.

A tag is something anyone can read and call the number. Ruger's has his name on it and my number. Sure, if he gets away and someone decides to steal him there isn't much I can do about it, but most people around here read tags and call the owner, and it's pretty rare when he gets away from me.

It's just one small aluminum tag I got a Petco. If I hang all his tags, rabies, license, etc. around his neck he won't be able to move.

Of course, it would act like an anchor and keep him put.
