Who does and does not have a tag

Does everyone's pet wear a tag with your contact info on it? Bella does not wear a collar unless we take her outside, but she is chipped.

Just thinking of playing it safe and doing both.

Comments?

Lucky wears his all the time. Porter, only when he is outside.

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

Our dogs collars have tags. We used to leave the collars off when we would go out ,for fear they would play and choke each other.

But then we got worried, what if there is a fire or a break in? They are microchipped, but still...

So since we know they never pull each other's collars, we now leave the collars with tags on all day and while we are out. We do take them off when we are sleeping at night though but keep them handy in case of emergency.

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

I am probably more on the OCD side, but I would be devistated if I ever lost one of my guys(thank god I haven't!). So mine not only have a microchip, but they have the emergency health ins that covers up to 3k. It's linked to their microchip, so if they are found hurt and then scanned it comes up on their profile that the first 3k of vet work can be done right away. They also have their ID tags from the quick tag thing at petco, and thier rabies tag, and NYS license on them at ALL times. I used to work at a vet and you would be surprised how many people call in because they found a dog and the rabies listed the vet and vet number. I also saw someone who had a "pet ID" it looked like a NY driver's license but for your dog. I haven't seen it anywhere but it was pretty cool. She said that the shelter by her had a fair and they were making them there...

Tallulah always wears a collar and tag. It has my cell phone# on it.

But, I haven't had her microchipped.

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

i have a cat, and he wears a collar and tags at all times (i actually need to get him a new tag).

when we get a dog, he will wear a collar and tags at all times as well. better safe than sorry.

ETA: my cat is not chipped

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

Ollie is chipped and has tags on her harness, which she only wears when we take her outside. I'm a little concerned about it in case she runs out the door or something, even with the chip it makes me nervous

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

Misty has her rabies tag, nametag for here and nametag for CT on her collar and she is microchipped.
But, she only wears her collar when we are out, in the car or up in CT. If she did get out of the house, she would just wait by the front door anyway.
It happened twice.

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

My girls wear collar but no tags because the puppy pulls on them and has already lost 4 of them on us. All our dogs are microchipped though and all of them wont walk out the door without us (I know we are very lucky) I couldnt get rid of my girls if I tried, they are too spoiled to "rough it" and they know it!

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

Our cat does not wear a collar, but he is microchipped.

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

Sarge wears a collar with our phone number. I would like to get him chipped though.

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

i always get ID tags before i even get the dog!!!

i am so paranoid.

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

my dog does

my cat, who is an indoor cat, does not

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

Katie has a chip and wears a collar with tags all the time.

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

I bought my fathers dog id tags, and he wore for awhile, but the constant rubbing under his neck caused a bold spot. So now he only wears his collar and tags when on a walk... which isnt good if he got out of the yard. but he does have a chip.. but if the person who finds him doesnt take him to get checked for.. isnt going to be much help.

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

my lil one Evee where's a collar with both tags (reg and rabies) and Krys (our cat) hates collars but she is an indoor cat so I don't have to worry.

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

Lilly wears her tags (rabies and ID) at all times whenever she is out of her crate. When she is crated, we take her collars off. She is chipped as well, but I like actually seeing the tags (I'm weird like that ) and it's a good way to keep track of where she is in the house from the tinkly noise the tags make.

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

We have a microchip and he always has a tag on.

They have collars where you can get your name and number embroidered onto them.

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

all three of my babies were tags because unfortunately i am an overprotective parent

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

My two indoor cats are microchipped and also have collars. The collars have no tags, but have bells; I just use them so I can hear where they are.

Re: Who does and does not have a tag

All our animals are microchipped but only the dogs wear collars. The cats stay inside. I used to have a collar for Figaro but he pulled it off and I never replaced it. I had it on him more for the bell so I knew where he was. We never put a collar on Jeter. I bought one but just never put it on him.
