Pet Identification (collar tags)
Thousands of pets go missing each year, and a lot of those are
never returned to their owners because their details are not
up-to-date on a microchip database and they have no form of
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).
You can be fined £5000 if your dog does not wear an
identification tag.
