It is a legal requirement under the Control of Dogs Order 1992 that all dogs must wear a collar and identity tag in a public place. The tag must show the owner's name and address. Fines of up to £5000 can be given by the courts.

Ensure that your dog or cat wears an Identification Tag. The RSPCA reports that over 90% dogs and 95% of cats turned in have no identification. Even if your pet has an identity chip it is always best to have external identification tag on your pet. We would also recommend that you add a phone number where you can be reached easily, as if your pet is found you can be contacted immediately thanks to the information on the Pet ID Tag.
