"My cat doesn't like a collar."

"Tags make too much noise."

"I misplaced the rabies tag."

"My pets never go outside."

"My yard is fenced."

There are a lot of reasons so many dogs and cats with loving pet parents don't have tags.

But if your pet gets out just once without a tag, you could lose it forever.

Pets wearing tags and phone numbers are usually reunited with their pet parents immediately.

All animals are required by City ordinance to wear a rabies tag.

If your dog is lost, the finder or the animal shelter can trace you through the vet's office.

Your pet will be safer if you also include a tag that includes the pet's name and your phone number. You can buy ID tags at pet supply stores.
