Leather Dog Collars Are Still the Best Security ID For Your Beloved Pet

Technology has provided us with various means of identifying our pets. Some of the newest technologies include the use of wireless devices, GPS and microchips. Microchip technology involves a chip that is installed under your dog's skin. This chip can only be read with a chip reader. It contains all of your contact information, your dogs medical history including any and all shots he has received.

This might sound great in case your pet gets lost, but there are disadvantages. Mainly, the person who finds your pet might take him a veterinary clinic that does not have the scanning equipment needed to read the microchip. Also, microchip designs differ and not all scanners can read the information contained on all types of chips. Without wearing a leather dog collar with standard identification tags, a person might believe that your lost pet is a stray dog and may not go to the trouble of trying to find out who the owner is and simply take your pet to the pound.

Therefore, even if you decide to implant your dog with a microchip, he should still wear a good leather dog collar with an identification tag attached. This provides instant information to whoever happens to find your pet. Making it much easier for you to get your dog back sooner. You can customize your collar to give it a more personal touch. You can select the design and color and have an impression of your contact information or your dog's name put right onto the leather collar. Compared to wireless technology, or microchips, dog collars are inexpensive, are easily available anywhere and can be put on or taken off whenever you like.

So keep your pet safe with a good leather dog collar. Any design you like, very comfortable for you pet, inexpensive, all around, one of the best things you can do for your beloved pet. And don't forget the identification tag!
