Google experts, please help re: rabies tag

[Deleted]

I've spent all morning trying to figure out how to get Betty a rabies tag. She got her shots at the shelter and I have her paperwork, but they didn't give me a tag.

I've tried calling the king county pet line, but I can't get to a real person. I get trapped in their phone tree of pre-recorded message.

Who do I get this from and how do I do this?

Thanks!

ask the shelter for it.

They told me they didn't have one and I don't want to drive 3 hours round trip for it.

do you need the tag for something specific? if you have the paperwork, generally it's enough.

Call a local vet and ask. I've always gotten the tag at the same appt the shots were given at.

Do you know which vet the shelter uses? Our vet is the one who gives us our rabies tag. Maybe they'd be able to mail you another?

I just want her to have it in case she gets out.

Have you gotten established with a vet here yet? I'd do that, and then they can probably transfer the records and get you a tag.

We got Coco's rabies tag from her vet when we got her shots. I'd suggest calling the vet's office where she got them and asking if they provided them initially and if you can get a replacement.

this is probably a good idea. FWIW, tigger (and hercules) never wear theirs....but that's probably bc i couldn't get rid of my dogs if i tried. they always sit on the front porch waiting for me.

I called the Vet. He's bringing it over tonight.

Thanks!

He's amazing. We've already had to use him once and he was so good with Betty. He's coming over to microchip her tonight.

my cousin uses that same vet. and he also makes house calls all the way to everett. she suggested him to us, but he was just a bit too $$ for us.
