Out of the approximately 60 million dogs that live in the United States, at least 5 million somehow find their way into an animal shelter every year. Out of these 5 million dogs a year, only about a million ever find their original owners.

If you’ve ever lost your dog even for a short while, you know what a nerve-wracking and heartbreaking experience it can be. Where is your dog right now?

If he ever gets lost, rest assured that if someone finds your lost dog, there is a good chance he will be cared for. There is an even better chance that you will become reunited with him. That’s because you had the foresight to put a dog ID tag on him.

Dog ID tags contain vital information for retrieving and caring for your dog. The tags contain the name of your dog, the owner’s phone numbers and home address, any dietary restrictions, and any other information that might be of valuable interest.

Make sure the spelling of your dog’s name is easy to pronounce. You may want to spell the name phonetically on the tag. That way, a stranger who is unfamiliar with that pronunciation can properly call your dog with the sounds it understands.

Always include your home, work, and cell phone numbers on your dog’s tag. Also include your home address, including number, street, city, and state. Dogs have been known to wander far.

Some dogs have dietary restrictions. Yours might be allergic to penicillin or other medications. He or she might require certain regular supplements.

Some municipalities require current vaccination information. Be sure to include the date of your dog’s last vaccinations on the tag.

Dog ID tags are one way to do your part in taking care of your adventurous canine friend.
