Do your Yorkies wear their Rabies tag?

[Britster]

Just curious w/ all the discussion lately of collars/tags/harnesses/etc.

Jackson wears a collar pretty much 24/7 with 1 tag on it which contains his name/last name and my phone number on it. But he does not wear his rabies tag ever, I keep it stored in Jackson's folder with all of his shot records, and information.

I was thinking about putting the rabies tag on his harness since we wear that for walks and dog park trips etc, maybe it would be a smart thing to have on him? I dunno.

The jingle jangle of the 2 tags together on his collar annoy me lol so I never put both on it... but what do you all do?

I keep my rabies tages in our doggie bag. We take the bag with us whenever we leave the house (like a baby diaper bag) That way I will have it just in case it is ever needed. I also keep a copy of vet records and other necessaties for when we leave.

[ARCHIE]

It's on one of Buddy's harnesses. Because we change I have an ID tag on each one but the rabies tag hangs only on one.
He only wears a harness outdoors and wears no collar indoors.

[Ellie May]

Well, Ellie rarely wears tags (bad mommy I supose), but when she does, she wears both. Isn't it illegal for them to not wear it off of owner property in some areas?

Rocks wears his all the time. I personaly like the jingling of his tags so I can hear where he is or where he shouldn't be.

We don't have any kind of rabies tags here in CA. Teddi has a dog license but I keep it attached to her carrier cuz it is way too big for her to wear. She does jingle jangle all the time though cuz she had a bell and a name tag and a charm on her collar. I need to know where she is since she is so small. She is so used to the jingling that when I take it off she doesn't know what to do cuz it's so quiet. When I pick up her collar and shake it she comes running to get it put back on.

[Cerise]

I keep Cerise's on my key ring because I always have my keys when we leave out of the house.

I personally like the jingle. Kaji wears a cat bell in addition to his tag. I like to know where he is as he's always under foot. He's so fast too!! I think he's behind me and next thing I know, I've stepped on him. As for the rabies tag, I hate that ugly thing!!! He has two collars, one blue, one red and they have matching tags. The red has a red dog bone, one side has his name in Japanese with my number, and the other side his name is in English. The blue one is a blue pirate skull and crossbones, it only has his name in Japanese and my number. So the rabies tag just clashes with either one.
I did put the rabies tag on his harness recently, with his bell (my brother wants to choke me for having that f_ing bell on him ) so he wears it when we're outside.

CA doesn't have a rabies tag? YES!!!! Kaji has one because he came from MO, so he wears that one around.

I got a rabies tag from my vet (in San Francisco). But no, Thor doesn't wear any tags. I think about it sometimes, but he's so low to the ground, the tags would be hitting his knees. He is chipped; I feel that's enough protection here, since shelters are chip-savvy. One of my friends found a stray dog here once, and when he took him to the shelter, they were able to call his owners immediately based on the chip info.

Pasquale has his tags on his harness..and he only wears his harness if we go out of the house. But i was telling my DH about the story of Megansmomma (i think that who it was, i'm sorry if i got the name wrong). But anyways, i was telling the story to my husband...and we both just looked at each other scared that this could someday happen to us. So i ordered a Chattiesmom harness cause it looks much more comfy than the one he has now and i plan on keeping his harness with tags on him everyday.

[ArmaniMan]

Mine wear theirs because we go to the dog park sometimes and it is required there... but I like it on all the time anyway, better safe then sorry I guess.

You can buy these things that go around the tags and prevent the jingle.

I've found that city shelters in my area are more concerned about $$$ than anything else. I doubt they will check for microchips, shove a new one in, and send them off to be adopted. I feel the only way the microchip would work in my area is if Kaji falls into the hands of the SPCA, a private small breed rescue (only available in "good" areas), or if a good Samaritan takes him to a vet and asks to scan him. His chances of being recovered by chip only are slim.

[hugz4all4]

yes, mine wear thier rabies tags along with 2 ID tags on thier collars at all times. The only time I remove thier collars is when I put them in thier kennels when we leave and at night.

[chandracz]

My parents got a ticket once for not having the rabies tag on their yorkie, even though they told the cop the tag was at home he still gave them a ticket. This was when I was little and I JUST found out about it, so I'm going to put Bailey's on his harness so he only wears it when he goes outside.
