Make the bow and heart tag pink or red and keep the fur white or cream.
Design a new tag for the puppy with her name and a tiny picture.
Many US animal shelters microchip every dog before adoption so it can always be traced back home.
A fluffy puppy with bow is wearing more than a cute accessory: that heart-shaped tag on her collar is a reminder that every dog needs ID. A tag with a phone number can mean the difference between a lost dog coming home in a few hours or never finding its way back.
The most reliable form of ID is a microchip, a tiny device about the size of a grain of rice that a veterinarian places under the skin, usually between the shoulder blades. It feels about like a vaccine shot and holds a unique code linked to the family's contact details in a registry.
When someone finds a wandering dog, they can take it to a vet clinic or animal shelter, where staff scan the chip and look up the owners. That only works if families keep their phone number and address up to date, especially after a move.
A collar with a tag is still super useful, since any neighbor can read it without a scanner. For puppies, pick a light, adjustable collar that fits two fingers underneath, and check it often, because puppies grow fast.
