Keeping your Coton Safe with ID
It is SO important for your dog to carry ID with him at all times! I have taken care to make sure your dog has a microchip inserted in the back of his neck to hopefully prevent the worst, but it’s always best to have a tag on your dog that has your phone number on it. It can be the difference between getting your dog back in hours, versus having to search the local dog pounds, lost and found ads, or wait for a call from one.
I keep collars on my dogs specifically to carry their ID tags. For walks I use a harness and leash, but they always wear their collars. Also, it’s easiest to get your puppy adjusted to wearing collars while they’re young, but of course important to check it often for fit, since puppies grow so fast! Also, the round-rolled leather style collars are truly the best for not tangling their hair. At the age of 8-10wks, when your puppy first arrives, his neck will be about 9 inches around, to assist in finding a first collar that is just the right fit.

This is how Zsa Zsa likes to wear her collar!
Your Gallant Coton puppy has been provided with a microchip inserted into the back of his neck for his safety. That way if he's found, chances are good his chip will be scanned. If it's been registered with your name and address, you will be contacted if your pet is found. With shelters being so full, and so many dogs lost or homeless, it's a very important thing you can do to ensure his safety. Unfortunately, it's mostly useless if you don't register it with your name and address, and keep that information current.
It's a one time fee for his entire lifetime, and along with a collar ID tag, can truly mean the difference between life and death for your puppy. If you haven't already, please register your dog's microchip right now. The peace of mind is well worth it!
