That is my biggest worry - Minka getting loose by mistake and having no collar and ID on her. Many folks think a a dog without a collar is a stray. And if there is a number to call they might. However, I have a flat nylon collar with the plastic release and her name and my phone number sewn into the collar in big obvious stitching, it's called a "personalized" collar. What I like is there are no tags to catch on to things or too fall off.
This thread does worry me with any collar now. I guess I need to weigh the odds. My two don't tousle much and when outside they are in separate pens. I always kept the collar loose thinking she could slip out of the collar if it got hooked up, but now I see a looser collar could result in body parts getting hung up. Geez.
Well anyhow, hoping folks who want ID on their dog the nylon personalized collars are nice, at least no tags are dangling.
