What to Put on an ID Collar
The law requires pets to wear a collar in public. Attached to the collar should be an ID tag. The tag should contain the pet’s name, owner’s name, and address. A phone number is also preferred.

The second tag would contain the microchip company’s name and phone number.
Consider Microchipping
Microchipping is the process of adding a locator chip inside your pet. The truth is, even with a tag, your pet may never be returned.
