Finding Fido


If your doggie goes AWOL, you'll be less likely to panic if you have made sure your pet wears a collar with an ID tag, rabies vaccination tag and city license.

In fact it's a good idea if he also has a designer tag with additional contact information beyond that on his city license. For example, if you've signed your pet up with a registry service, they can maintain several of your private contact numbers and you will only have to list their number on the tag.

A great digital tag you may want to consider, lets you enter 40 lines of text in the display. This is especially useful if your pet has any important health issues that need timely medication. Plus it is easy to update the information if necessary. You can find the Dog-E-Tag here.

Whatever you do, make sure your pet is adequately protected when it comes to his dog ID tags.
