Dogs should wear tags at all times, even when they are inside because you never know when they might accidently run out of the house.  The only way someone could identify your dog is if it was wearing a tag.

---

Tags are not the only way. Microchips are gaining in popularity a lot. Tags are becoming obsolete in many places aside from rabies tags.

It's a lot easier for people to just read a name on a tag than take a dog to the vet which or may or may not have a chip reader.

My dog is microchipped.  
He wears a tag too.

GOOD JOB!!!!

It's also a lot more likely that a person will steal a dog and throw a collar away, or for a tag to fall off. A microchip is used for solid identification. Collars don't always stay on.

microchips are known to move over the years.

And? That doesn't mean anything. The wand is waved over their entire body.

None of my dogs have tags but all of them wear collars. In this area, you don't see very many animals wear tags, really. Not very many people can afford that... I'm surprised I see collars on more than half the animals here.

---

It's only five bucks to get a tag made with your name and address. =\

My family isn't exactly in the best spot right now financially. I have been looking into it though, so it's not something that's completely out of the question for me. But right now, I have to get 2 of them fixed first. My neighbors know who my dogs are and vice versa, so we watch out for each other's animals- that's the one good thing about my neighborhood.

Then I guess having both is the perfect solution.
