UK Control of Dogs Order 1992
The Control of Dogs Order 1992 mandates that every dog in a public place must wear a collar with the name and address of the owner inscribed on the collar or on a tag attached to it. Failure to comply with this rule is an offence against the Animal Health Act 1981 and the dog may be seized and treated as a stray dog and the owner subject to a fine not exceeding €2,000.
What Information is required?
When submitting your engraving instructions, please include:
- Your name (Surname)
- Your address (house number and postcode will suffice)
- We also recommend including your phone number
Example of a pet tag engraved with the proper details:
Please note: some Kennel Club trainers may require tags to include the owner's name and FULL address, in which case a double sided tag may be required depending on the total number of lines needed.
