Why Every Pet Should Wear a Collar and Name Tag
As a pet parent, your first priority is keeping your pet safe. One of the simplest and most effective ways to add a layer of protection is to make sure your pet always wears a collar with a name tag and phone number.
Why Name Tags Matter
• Immediate Identification: If your pet ever slips out of the house, yard, or a sitter’s care, a name tag with your phone number allows anyone who finds them to contact you right away.
• Faster Reunions: A microchip is important, but it requires a vet or shelter to scan. A visible name tag makes it possible for your pet to be returned within minutes.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing your pet is wearing clear identification reassures both you and the professional caring for them.
Why It Is Even More Important with a Pet Sitter
Even the most reliable pets can behave differently when cared for by someone else or when their routine is disrupted. A pet may slip out when visitors enter the home, get spooked on a walk, or explore places they usually would not.
When a pet sitter or professional caregiver is responsible for your pet, a collar and tag provide an extra layer of security. It ensures that if the unexpected happens, your pet can be quickly reunited with you.
A Simple Step with a Big Impact
Collars and tags are inexpensive, easy to get, and can make all the difference. At Dogs On The Run, we encourage every pet parent to keep a name tag on their pet, especially when traveling or leaving them in the care of others.
Some of our professionals even keep extra tags on hand as a thoughtful gift, because we know that safety and peace of mind matter most.
