Pet ID Tags and the Law (United Kingdom) - a must read for any dog owner in the United Kingdom Do not end up with a fine of £ 5,000 be wrong, everyone should read this!
Many of us in love for the UK to spoil our pets with various accessories such as coats, jumpers, "Doggles and even shoes! One of the most important things, however, that should not be overlooked or forgotten, is a pet ID tag.
Animal identification not only logical (if you pet is lost), but is also a legal requirement in the United Kingdom!
The law requires having your name, address (including postcode) and telephone number, preferably on the identification for pets.
"The Control of Dogs Order 1992 states 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 label. Your number phone is optional (but recommended). "[ref Kennel Club website]
If you do not follow this law, you risk a £ 5,000 fine!
In our opinion, the best way to get your pet identification wrapped, our plan is to take 5 steps ...
- Get your pet microchipped
- Get a pet burned disc quality ID tag . Ideally make sure it is a nice thick disk, with an engraving of quality (zero is not cheap burning as found in pet help you). Write your name and address. And if the phone number hoping space. Also, if you can, add a line like "I'm a microchip.
- Ensure that the tag is attached to the collar to a ring of high quality. Do not use one that has a round metal attachment cheap that will eventually bend and allow the tag to be detached from the necklace!
- Get a personalized dog collar embroidered with your name and phone number . This so that if for any reason that the label has come off the cervix, or an elderly person who cannot read the small print, can still easily find your phone number in the large text embroidery on the collar!
- Check the details are updated regularly, if you move, change of name or phone number and get your pet ID updated immediately.
