Engraved collar or tag: how to properly identify your dog
Partager
In France, microchip identification is mandatory, but it's not enough if your pet runs away: only a professional with a scanner can read it. A collar with visible contact information remains the fastest way for a passerby to contact you directly.
Hanging tag: the limitations
Noisy, it can detach, wear out, and become illegible over time, at the worst possible moment.
The riveted engraved plate: more reliable
Attached directly to the collar with metal rivets, an engraved plate like the one on the PawIdentité collar won't detach and remains legible for a long time, without the clinking noise of a hanging tag.
What to engrave?
- Your dog's name
- A reachable phone number
- Avoid your full address for security reasons
A well-chosen collar is the first chance to quickly find an escaped dog, even before needing a microchip scanner.
