Plus a microchip in case something happens to the tag. That way any vet can identify your dog and get you reunited.
Would be nice if phones NFC could read the chips.
You can buy them online, they're not too expensive. I bought a more expensive one that has the detector at the end of along stick so I don't have to get too close to an unknown animal. I carry it in my car in case I meet another stray I might be able to I'd their person.
Sounds like you just found yourself a marketable product
Do know enough about it, might need to change the whole industry to make it work.
Seconding the chip. If a dog is lost then any dog owner doesn't need to look for someone who knows someone who owns the dog.
legally required in the UK
I assume the dog had a microchip which can be easily scanned by a vet and says who owns it and where they live.

All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.
Rules (Will be refined later on).
-
Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.
-
No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here. -
All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.
-
Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.
-
Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.
