Pet Id Tags and the Law (uk) - a Must Read for Any Dog Owner in the UK
Don't end up with a £5,000 fine by getting it wrong, everyone should read this!
Many of us in the UK love to spoil our pets with various accessories like coats, jumpers, 'doggles' and even shoes! One of the most important things however that should not be neglected or forgotten is a Pet ID Tag.
Pet Identification not only makes sense (in case you pet gets lost) but also is a LEGAL requirement in the UK!
The law requires your to have your name, address (including postcode) and ideally phone number on the pet identification.
"The Control of Dogs Order 1992 mandates that any dog in a public place must wear a collar with the name and address (including postcode) of the owner engraved or written on it, or engraved on a tag. Your telephone number is optional (but advisable)." [ref Kennel Club website]
If you don't follow the law with this, you could risk a £5,000 fine!!
In our opinion, the BEST way to get your pet identification all wrapped up, is to take our 5 step plan...
- Get your pet microchipped
- Get yourself a quality engraved pet ID tag disc. Ideally ensure it's a nice thick disc, with quality engraving (not cheap scratch engraving like you might find in help yourself pet shops). Add your name and address. And hopefully if space, phone number. Also if you can, add a line like "I am microchipped".
- Ensure the tag is attached to the collar with a high quality split ring. Don't use one that has a cheap round metal attachment which will eventually bend and allow the tag to come loose from the collar!
- Get an embroidered personalised Dog Collar with your name and phone number. This ensure that if for some reason the tag has come loose from the collar, or an old person who cant read the small engraving text, can still easily find your phone number from the large text embroidery on the collar!
- Check the details are up to date at regular intervals, if you move, change name, or phone number then get your pet identification updated immediately.
Best Pet Collars sell personalised custom embroidered dog collars and have a fantastic range of pet ID tags which can be with you in less than a week from ordering.
