Personalized Dog Collars: The Benefits

Personalized dog collars are the simplest, most straightforward way to tell the person who finds your lost dog that she has an owner and that you want her back. Embroidered dog collars contain the dog’s name and your phone number, making it easy for the person who finds her to dial your number and reunite you both as quickly as possible.

Personalized dog collars are made from strong, tear-proof nylon that, if fitted properly, will stay on your dog in the event that she is lost. You can personalize the collar colors as well as the embroidery on the embroidered dog collar. Choosing a bright color for the embroidery thread is ideal as it will stand out when your dog is found by another person. Most people choose to include their telephone number a well as the dog’s name. This makes returning the dog very easy.

Personalized Dog Collars Bring Peace of Mind

For many families, losing a dog is as traumatic as experiencing the death of a family member. However, while people can grieve for family members who have passed away, it is hard to find closure when a dog is lost. Many wonder how long to keep searching. They wonder if they will ever see their best friend again.

Personalized dog collars offer peace of mind; in the unfortunate event that your dog is lost, you’ll know that your contact information is right there waiting for the person who finds him. In fact, dogs who have some sort of identification like an embroidered dog collar are more likely to be reunited with their owners more quickly, reducing the risk that they will be hit by a car, have to spend days without food, water or medical attention, or be turned into a shelter where they face euthanasia.

Lost Dog Statistics: How Personalized Dog Collars Help

More than half of all American households have a pet, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. However, more than 5 million pets are reported lost every year. Dogs without identification like personalized dog collars are less likely to be reunited with their owners, and approximately 17 percent of lost dogs never find their owners again, according to the American Humane Association. When lost pets aren’t reunited with their owners, they face being euthanized at animal shelters. More than 20 million pets are euthanized every year.

Make sure your dog doesn’t become one of these statistics. Invest in a custom dog collar that will help keep your dog safe and give you the peace of mind you deserve. We all love our dogs; this is a way to protect them and help make sure no harm comes to them in the event that they are lost. Purchase an embroidered dog collar that helps others return him home if he slips away from you by accident. You’ll sleep better knowing that others have the information they need to help reunite you with a beloved family member.

Do I need a personalized dog collar if my dog is microchipped?

Microchipping your pet is a great idea and we recommend it to our customers, but there is still
the possibility that a lost, chipped animal could be scanned with a device that will not recognize
his chip. And even if the chip is read correctly, it’s only as good as the information on it: Pet
owners must ensure their contact information is updated with various microchip registries;
there is still no single database for microchip information. If you move and fail to update your
contact information, your pet could be returned to your old house rather than finding you at your
new one! Should your dog get lost at off hours, shelters and veterinarian offices may not be open.

What does this all mean? It’s simple: Microchip your pet with the chip recommended by your local shelter or veterinarian. Make sure to update your database information if you move. But don’t rely on the microchip as your only method of identification!

While your local animal control agency may have a scanner, your next-door neighbor doesn’t—and when your cat or dog gets loose, the people in your area have the best and earliest chance of finding her. Should your beloved pet get lost, a collar and tag are still the most reliable way to make sure she gets home again.
