Dog tags

[Jeanette]

I'm probably being dense but why do you put 'nutured' on it?

I would't put my address on it for security reasons. A. Because if anyone found Mali they would know that I was out and B. Because as someone has already said, anyone seeing it would know where to come if they wanted to steal her.

a bitch not so as you would have to check for a spaying scar, so even if your bitch is neutered or not I think it's useful to have 'neutered'  on a tag 

 

and often you can't tell - even another vet can't always tell as some scars are so tiny

You sometimes get would-be thieves becoming friendly with you (lets face it we always like it when our dogs get attention and while I would never stop this or even think about it at the time its always a possibility) and they may even look closer at dog tags in the process.

I had have someone look at Indie's tag when she was a puppy, the man said he was looking at it cos it was nice but he had flipped it over to the reverse where the details are - very strange and don't know if he was genuinely looking at her tag or not, bit weird for a bloke to do, can understand a woman looking at her pretty tag and being interested in it but its not really a man thing. 

Also had a situation where a weirdo on a bench called her over and then grabbed hold off by her ear and wouldn't let go, shouted to him get his %*&$&*%  hands off my dog and he laughed but did let go, that has made me wary of walking her in places where there is no-one else around.       

No-one gets the chance now as she doesn't approach strangers and its quite hand-shy with people she doesn't know and if they try and stroke her she backs off - not surprising really.     I now just have house number, post code and mobile telephone number - however my mobile expires on Tuesday so just realised I have to replace all my tags with new details.

Forgot to say, I have house number, post code and mobile telephone number on mine.

OK just to make myself clear on the front of my dogs tags it Say's scan me on the back it has mobile number mine as i always have my mobile on me and a home phone number not mine my grandmothers as shes disabled and will always be in .. someone would always answer either number . I put nothing else on  the less they know about your dog(s) the better the house phone is also ex directory .

Why not ask to port your number instead of changing it, it can take a few days but saves you money of replacing tags

Existing number is a contract phone which is up on the 31st March 2009 and have cancelled, going to buy a pay as go you cheap phone as don't want to add another monthly bill to our bills if I don't manage to find a job so I don't think I'll be able to use the old number by buying a pay as you go.

I have 'I am neutered and microchipped' on one side and my mobile telephone number on the reverse. There is no need for an address, which can be obtained if she is scanned and I always have my mobile with me if I am out.

[Jan/Billy]

This is what Billy has.

On the other side it has my surname, address & phone number.

I think the next one I get I may have it without my address & just have more telephone numbers instead.

so even if your bitch is neutered or not I think it's useful to have 'neutered'  on a tag 

Yes, Wherry's not and her tag says she is. Just as a possiblle deterrent, can't hurt

You can still ask to port the number there are no restrictions. Hubby has been contract, pay as you go, back to contract and still kept the number various networks to orange, t mobile 02 etc
