Identification Options for your Dog

Posted May 4th, 2010 by David Webb
There are many ways that you can have identification on your dog besides
the tradition dog collar tag.

The most important thing you can do for
your dog if it was ever to get lost is to have a collar on it. If you dog were
to escape having a dog collar or dog harness on would notify the person that
found them that is it someone’s pet.

Besides the traditional metal dog
tags, you can also get your dog’s collar monogrammed with their name and your
contact phone number. Personalized
dog collars
are a great way to have a one of a kind dog collar.

But
the issues with a just a dog collar is that
sometimes collar can come off. If you only rely on a dog collar, you risk the
chance of it coming off and the finder not being able to contact you. One of the
best ways to combat this is to have your dog microchipped. When a dog is
microchipped, a rice size implant is put under their skin between their shoulder
blades. In this chip is your contact information and many times your dog’s vet
information. When you dog is found by animal control, brought into a vet clinic,
or taken to the humane society as a stray, one of the first things they do is
scan it to see if it has a microchip. Microchips will not come off like a collar
will, so this is a great way to protect your dog from getting lost.


Besides a traditional metal dog tags and microchipping, there are other
options that are available for your dog. The one you choose is based on your
lifestyle, budget, and personal preference.
