What to put on a dog tag

[Jolene, Sassparilla & Josie]

I've looked through old posts but wanted a fresh set of responses.  We are updating our dog tags with new solid ones and I was wondering what is information is recommended. 

In the good old days you could include your name and address but today????  I've heard the debate about placing the dogs name but what about yours (the owners).  I was told if you have the dogs name you should put your name that way if lost or worse case stolen they can contact you directly and your name on there solidifies ownership (in conjunction with the microchip, of course). 

Then there are some that say do not mention microchip that way if stolen and taken to a vet the dog can be held until you are notified if the person bringing in the dog is not the owner listed on the chip, if they know they may try to remove the chip themselves (harming the dog) or take it to a shady vet who won't turn them in - if they take them to a vet at all? 

Geez, I hate the world has come to this.  We camp A LOT in the desert along the river and my biggest fear is the dogs will take off and that tag would mean everything to a quick return if access to chip reading is not readily available?

I unfortuantely can not be with my girls all the time, I work full time and we do A LOT of outings where anything can happen (if not to them maybe me)?

What do you have on their id tags and/or what do you recommened?

Thanks,

Jolene

Mine say

If I'm alone

I'm lost

Call

#number

I don't put their names on them just telephone numbers.

Why do some of you skip putting the dogs' names on their tags? I know mine would answer to Boogy and RoRo if someone called them in a ahappy voice :)

I agree. And there are circumstances where you would want a dog to listen to a rescuer. besides if a dognapper got close enough to read the tags he/she hhas got the dog.

Ditto.

I have the Boomerangs for both, and I have their names, our address, both of our phone numbers. Mine too would come to anyone and if y
They have food, forget it! I would hope whoever found them alone, with collars on would assume they are lost and if in our neighborhood, return them or call. But there are a lot of "What ifs" and whether or not I put their names, microchip numbers, needs MEDS....etc.....if that person wants a dog, nothing is going to stop them.
