Bonus Tip - When You Choose the Name, Embroider it to a Collar.
This may sound a little salesy but it is far from it. Last night we got this message after a lost dog, freaked out by the fireworks, jumped into a persons backyard who let us know about it on social media.
You can never control the reason they might become lost. It could be a gate left open, a dig under a fence or a bad reaction fireworks and storms.
What you can control is having Pet Identification that, doesn't fall off, is easy to read (with the benefit of looking great). If the person can read the name and calm your dog and then call you right away with their location, it is a less stressful scenario for you, your pet and the person that found them.
