All of mine where a collar with rabies tag and ID tag with my name, address and phone number on it. The only thing that I never put on their ID tag are their names.

If their name was on the tag, and if they ever got out of the house a took off out of the yard without anyone knowing. I think that it would be more tempting for whom ever found them to want to keep them.

Anyone not get a rabies tag from their vet? We got a certificate but no tags.

We got tags and they wear them on their collar. I wonder why you didn't get a tag?

I asked but the vets said tags are unnecessary. We take the certificate in to the city/county to get the dogs registered. (certificate has dogs name, vets signature/license number, vial serial number, etc) I think she said the certificate was more valuable to the city or something and tags are out of practice here. I'm wondering if this is the new norm.

Now that I think about it, no one I know has a rabies tag for their dog. I know they're all up to date on shots, we just don't have tags.

We get a certificate with the tag taped to it. My vet said it isn't necessary for them to wear them. For DC dog license they have to be up on their shots for rabies and distemper.... we have to show proof of both in order to get the license/tag.

I would call them and see....maybe they forgot to attach them to the certificate....?

My Luci don't wear a collar yet. But want to get her one. Do you guys have a problem with thier hair matting, when they have thier collars on all the time? Just wondering my sister had a problem with matting on her maltese when she wore a collar.

Id tags are so important. Last week a little chi showed up at my front door. She had on a collar but no tags. This happens alot in my neighborhood. I was pretty sure I knew where she lived,she sounds like a squeeky toy when she barks and I have a neighbor that has a little dog that barks for about an hour everyday that sounds like that. Since she didnt have tags I couldnt let her in my house with the other dogs,didnt know if she had received shots. She ended up in a crate on my back porche. I had to watch for someone to be home. Finally the granddaughter arrived and I could see her looking around in their front yard. It was their dog.
As I walked away after returning their little chi home all I could think was, she would of spent the night away from home if the granddaughter had not arrived before her grandmother got home (usually around 2 am),my neighbor would of been worried sick for several hours needlessly,the dog would of spent the night in a crate at a strangers house and not been checked for a chip until the next day,my schedule didnt allow.
So my baby is chipped and wears tags. Her chip is checked every year at her annual exam. Her tags are replaced whenever they begin to show wear. She wears these when she is on a walk with her harness on. When we leave town I take a copy of her rabies certificate with me.

My vet removes the old tag and puts the new one on for me.

I always let my dogs wear a collar for their id and rabies tags. I don't attach anything else to the collar. I use the harness for the leash.
