ID tags a must
I see many dogs running loose with very diminished chances of returning home. Why? Because they have no collar or ID tag. If you love your pet, give them a fighting chance to come home to you.
In order to try to find a lost pet with no ID requires numerous contacts with animal shelters (in the hope they have been picked up), lost dog posters, etc. A tag with your phone numbers and/or address can provide a person who finds your pet an immediate way to contact you for a return. Tracing through microchipping or a licensed dog tag can work, too. Just because your pet is in a fenced yard is no guarantee that they won't some day get free.
ID tags are an absolute must if you travel out of town. Please consider this simple protection for your pet.
