The information typically embroidered on personalized collars includes the pet’s name and phone number. It’s an excellent idea because you don’t know who is going to find your dog. Even if your pet is friendly as can be, many people won’t get close enough to a stray to read a little identification tag underneath his mouth.  Your phone number on a collar is obvious and large enough that people don’t have to handle your canine too much to read it.  Most pet supplies stores don’t charge very much extra for this service, so it’s worth the time and money.

The other advantage personalized collars give you is the knowledge that your pet will feel more comfortable in case does wind up far from home. People will comfort them using their name, which will soothe them until you can bring them home.  Also, if you have multiple pets, you will easily grab the right collar every time.
