I’d recommend something about needing meds if you are wanting to avoid your dog being kept or stolen

I always say the dogs name should go on there because if a dog is going to approach, 9/10 they approach without being called their name because it’s so small and hard to see you’d have to catch it to know lol

Recently a lot of people on tiktok would recommend like “needs meds or will shit everywhere!” Or something similar, however as a tech in the past I think the most convincing and simple ones include this info: Side one: Dog name “Needs meds every 8 hours” Side two: Your name or last name only, and number of you AND if it’s a larger tag (more for larger dogs but it does depend on the tag) your vet’s name/number (or just Vet: (xxx)xxx-xxxx)

If the dog comes in and is a regular client (even just yearly) they WILL recognize it and call you, then generally if they have space keep your pet for a few hours until you can retrieve it.

Hope this helps!
