Dog tags?

[Deleted]

I feel like Foxxy has so many dog tags! One for the city, one for rabies, and one ID tag. She is microchipped, but I hate the idea of not having her ID tag on her, just in case someone doesn't think to bring her to check the chip.

Does she need her rabies and city tags on at all times? If so, do tag silencers work pretty well? TIA!

I can't say whether they are "supposed to" or not, especially because it might vary by area, but the only tag my dog wears on his flat collar is a tag with his name and our address and phone number. On his martingale, which I put on him when he go for walks, I have his microchip tag.
I have his license and rabies tags in a folder with all his vet info. I figure if we ever need to produce it, we can quickly, but I can't take all of the jingling.

I think the rabies and city tag varies by city, but my dog wears those all of the time. My dog is microchipped and she has a generic ID petsmart tag too.

I'm really glad that I got the generic tag because recently while h and I were out of town and friends were watching her, she got out. A neighbor grabber her and called me. I figure the average person doesn't have a microchip scanner at their house and it's usually easier to try and call the owner first before taking the dog to a vet or shelter to get scanned. I know that the first thing that I would do if I found a dog is check for tags first.

I haven't tried the tag silencers because I like to have a rough idea of where she is during the day. At night, I take her collar off right before bed (she sleeps in our room) and I put it back on her before she goes outside. She likes to walk around a lot while we're trying to sleep, so the tag sounds were driving me insane.

My dog is naked in the house and wears just an info tag on her collar when she goes outside. She's also microchipped. I can't find the rabies tag for the life of my, but the county dog tag is in her folder at home. I'm not going to carry around tag-a-palooza and constantly switch them between the different collars and harnesses that she wears.
