The ASPCA recommends that it is equally important to have your pet tagged and microchipped for their safety in case they go missing. But having a physical tag on a collar provides the fastest and most reliable solution when a missing pet is found—the microchip is more like a backup plan if an animal’s information isn’t readily available. Plus, if your missing pet’s tag has your contact information on it, the person who finds them can call you right away, whether the vet’s office or shelter is open or not, and you will all avoid any fees, paperwork, or having to wait on hold while calling the microchip company.
On the other hand, there are cases where a pet who usually wears a collar outside escapes without it, slips out of their collar, or is stolen and has it removed, and that is where having a microchip comes in handy. In October 2019, a small, elderly terrier was found in Pittsburgh with a microchip that showed that she was registered to a family in Florida. The owner, who had lost the dog over twelve years earlier, was shocked to receive a call from shelter workers. It’s a mystery what the dog was doing for twelve years and how she managed to travel over a thousand miles without being checked by a vet or shelter sooner, but she will now spend her golden years back with the family that adopted her as a puppy.

Very cute but a word of advice from someone who works in a vet hospital.... please don't get tags in the shape of a bone like the ones seen here. If you have a wooden deck and your dog lays down the bone can slip in between the planks and get caught, leading to sometimes horrific results. Circular tags are much safer and still look super cute!
It's their business number (Eastcoast Engraving)
