Buying a pet ID tag for your American Akita is like buying insurance – you do it with the faith that you’re never going to need it. The “possible cost” of not having a pet ID tag is more costly than the “actual cost” of purchasing the pet tag itself.
The type of pet identification tag that you buy is vital, so take 5 minutes or so to consider it. Impulsively buying a collar tag because it’s cheap or pretty often ends up being a regret, down the road.
