Other Tags Recommendations
If your dog is micro chipped you should attach another tag that mentions the microchip company’s name and phone number. Also, it is helpful if your pup wears proof of its rabies vaccination. This way if someone finds your pup they know their shots are up today and the number provided by rabies tag can also help identify your pup. These extra tags give someone who finds your pup multiple ways to identify your pup and locate you.
When should you change your dog’s tags?
Dog tags may get warn out so when they start to become unreadable they should be changed. When your dog gets revaccinated make sure to update the vaccinations on the tags. Also you should always update tags when a phone number or address is changed.
Make sure you talk to your minder about your dog’s tags. Many of our minders will put vistor tags on your dog with their address just in case of emergency. Be sure to ask your minder to find out more about the vistor dog tags.
