Your Dog's ID

In addition to a collar and tags, should you also tattoo your dog or have a microchip implanted? Here's a look at the pros and cons of each identification method that can help if your dog is ever lost.
  • Do not let your dog roam. Unleashed, unsupervised dogs are vulnerable to traffic, attacks from other dogs, theft, and abuse. Walking your dog on a leash and keeping him in a secure yard are simple ways to greatly reduce the chance that your dog will run off.
  • Neuter or spay your dog. A neutered or spayed dog is less likely to wander.
  • Take proper care of your dog. Provide him with a safe, comfortable home; feed, walk, and water him adequately; and give him plenty of love and attention. Well-tended dogs have less reason to stray.
  • Just in case: Make sure you always have a current color picture of your dog and a record of her height, weight, coloring, and distinguishing marks. This will make the search for a lost pet easier.
