But what to write on these pet tags? A neighbor, a walker can find your pet. His first reflex would be to look for a pet tag that will allow him to conact the owner directly. If the dog do not wear one, he will have to contact a veterinarian or a shelter as your pet should have a microchip that can only be read by a professional with an chip reader.

• Your name - to find you in the neighborhood
• Phone number - cellphone and/or landline to call you
• Your address or region - to gauge the distance to return the pet
• Your region or country - when you travel with your pet
• The presence of a microchip - in order to check with the veterinarian
• If there is a reward
• Pets caracteristics - nice, fearful, diabetic, epileptic, ...
• Pet's name - to get his/her attention (It's last in the list because some people thinks that it can help pet's thieves to get sympathy from you pet)
