The local dog (tax) tag - useless
An at home tag with our house phone number
A travel tag that has my cell number, our names and a coach description.
When traveling, both wear red harnesses, this is a left over from sailing. When you have dogs on a boat, you need to have a easy and safe lift point available. The red harness also makes black dogs more visible.
We have has some occasions where these tags helped us, but the other day a poor little beagle came by. I was able to convince him that I was a dog person (that didn't actually take long) and was able to get a hand on his collar and read the name and phone number (like above). Because his people were involved in other things (like work), he got to be a guest for the rest of the day.

I often camp where there is no cell coverage. In addition, it may be a long way from home.
If my dog got lost, a micro chip may not be checked for at least a day maybe longer. A tag may get that number called sooner, but you may not get the message until you've driven back into an area with cell service.
Having an old fashioned barrel tag IN ADDITION to the others can allow someone to drive the dog directly to your campsite while you are still there.
Also, as I get older, I think of other precautions:
Keep a paper with a description, age, sex and name of your dog(s) on your person. If you collapse while hiking, etc., that paper can get your dog back to you if it runs off scared.

It's really not that bad. We use a needle that's just about the size of the one used to collect blood from people. Also, the location of the chip (between the shoulders) has the lowest pain/sensory nerve innervation as just about anywhere on the body.
Not that I'd like one put in me :B but the benefits far out weigh the minor pain.

I think maddog was referring to micro chOpping rather than micro chIpping... ๐

I might add a current rabies vacination and tag is advisable for any dog when camping. One never knows.
Yep. I keep a copy of the rabies cert in the glove box of each vehicle.
Many places won't accept the rabies tag as proof, so keep that in mind.

The home tag has my cell phone number. The travel tag has my cell phone number AND the license plate number of my RV.
I also will use those old style "barrel" tags and put a slip of paper inside with the campground, site number, and days I am there. Just another way for folks to reconnect me with my dogs.
I also have the rabies tag and the license tag.
And yes, my dogs AlWAYS have a collar or harness on them. And if we are out of a fenced area, they are leashed.
