Important Dog ID Collars

Thousands of dogs are lost daily across the country. Many of them are returned home within a day due to their dog id collar. Those without a dog id collar are usually never found. Id collars are extremely important for the safety of your pet. Outdoor dogs are most often wearing id collars when they get loose, because owners are aware of the risk. Even indoor pets occasionally sneak out an open door and run away. Indoor pets that take walks also can break leashes and run away. No matter where your pet stays in your home or yard, it is extremely important to have an id collar on them. There are several types for every dog.

Embroidered

The embroidered id dog collar is one where the identification information is sewn right into the collar. These collars are usually dark colored with the id information in white thread. They are extremely easy to see on shorthaired dogs. They work well for dogs who are distracted by hanging charms and for cats who scratch the charms right off. These collars can come in a variety of colors and styles, making them fashionable as well. Most of these collars are big enough to hold a name and phone number. You can order these through many companies. Check with your local pet supply store for more information.

Charms

These are the most popular forms of dog id. The id charms are engraved with information such as name, address, and phone number of the pet and its owner. These tags are noticeable on any breed of dog. They are the type of tag most people will look for when trying to find a home of a lost dog. Some charms are also fashionable and will contain pictures and phrases. They tend to dangle however, so if you have a picky dog that is annoyed by the tag, then consider another option.



Slide Tags

These tags are the in between product for the charm and the embroidered ids. These are metal plates that are engraved like the charms with the pet and owner information. Instead of hanging from the collar however, they have two slits in each side and slide right onto the collar. Once the plate is slid onto the collar it lays flat as part of the collar. The slide tags work best on nylon collars. Leather collars are often too thick for the tag to slide onto. These are comfortable for all dogs, but best seen on shorthaired breeds.

If you are a responsible dog owner, then you need to get a dog id collar for your dog. Even if you think there is no way your dog will run away, you still need to take precautions and get the id collar. Even the smallest and oldest dogs will run when given the opportunity. It is terrible when such a small or frail dog is lost in the chilly night. So, get a dog id collar. There is nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
