A dog locket is an ideal thing. It indicates the phone number of the owner. And in the event of the loss of a dog, it is likely that he will return home.
How to choose dog medallions, what to write on it, how to fix it correctly? This is described in the article.
Types of Medallions
The second name of the medallion is the addressee. Its forms are different. Addresses are round, square, triangular. They can be made in the form of bones, toys, hearts. Everything rests on the imagination of the producers and the owner.
Materials of manufacture
On sale there are plastic medallions. They are not high-quality, the inscription is very quickly erased.
Preference is given to metal addressees. Engraving is done on them. On metal, it lasts longer.
There are dog medallions (engraved) made of brass, steel, copper. They cost more, can be made to order.
What to write on the addressee?
In pet stores you can find finished products. And the inscriptions on them are bewildering. Various appeals on behalf of the dog to the one who found it. This will not be beneficial if the animal is lost.
What should be written on the engraved dog medallion?
The name of the animal. Lost ads are posted on the Internet. The name of the dog is indicated, a description is given. But there is one point: the owner recognizes his pet from a thousand. For outsiders, it's just a dog. There are many of them, they are all alike. That's what the nickname is for. So that people know for sure that in front of them is the desired dog.
Dog breed. It’s more convenient to look for a dog. Not all people understand the breeds. And if a man found a dog, sheltered her, he begins to search for the owner. Indication of the breed on the dog’s medallion (with engraving, of course) will greatly facilitate the task of the finder.
Phone number of the owner, family members and breeder. As the saying goes, for sure. A man who has found a dog will be able to get through to someone. The owner will not pick up the phone, someone from his family will answer. If the owner of the dog maintains contact with the breeder, it will not be amiss to indicate his number. The breeder always shelters his "graduate" until the owner picks it up.
An example of an inscription on the addressee is: "German Teira Shepherd. Telephone of the owner and breeder. Remuneration is guaranteed."
What you do not need to write
The presence of what is indicated above is mandatory on the dog’s medallion with engraving. But there are things that are not needed there at all.
Here is a real example of how you do not need to draw up an addressee:
"Hi, I'm missing. I am a very affectionate girl, and miss my mom very much. Give me back to her."
Why breed sentimentality when they don’t help the dog return home. Everything should be clear and structured.
How to fasten?
Dog medallions with engraving are attached to the collars. There is a special ring - mount, which is fastened to the collar. It is tightly clamped so that the addresser does not fall.
Choose a medallion for the size of the dog. The same German shepherd does not fit a small "glamorous" bone. She gets lost on the background of the dog. And the Chihuahua will not be happy with the heavy metal medallion that outweighs the dog itself.
Conclusion
That's all we wanted to tell about dog medallions. They are sold at pet stores. In addition, can be made to order.
