ID Please. There is no worse feeling than losing a pet. A collar with an ID tag is insurance – if you and your dog get separated, the people who find him will be able to call you and facilitate a quick reunion. Be sure the tag has your cell phone number on it. When you’re out in the cold, keep your cellphone in an interior pocket. Your body heat will keep the battery warmer and it will be more likely to work in case of an emergency.
