I have the same problem with Harley. I even find her metal tags mangle and chewed up in the yard. (She has a thing about chewing on metal.) Anywho, although I can not do anything about the rabies and microchip tags, I did have a brass plate engraved and attached to her collar with my personal information on it. She can't lose that unless she looses the whole collar.

I had mine made by a friend who does engraving and attached to the collar with rivets. This would work for leather as well as nylon collars.

We are still working on the microchip and rabies tag issues. Hope someone has a good idea.

Good to know it's not just Rita. I was starting to think she's a freak, lol.

I was thinking of trying stainless steel tags from multiple online sites. Figured that would be tougher than the typical aluminum. I should probably have tags made with microchip info, too. The ones that came with the chips were plastic and I just tossed them because there was no point.

Still got nothing on how to attach them to the collar in such a way that they won't come off. *sigh* I've been googling dog tags and attachers all day and I'm not getting anywhere.

And the city license thing really sucks. They only have aluminum tags available and they change the color and shape every year so the cops and AC can see at a glance if the tag is current. I have to use the tag they give, but the tags are always almost completely unreadable within 5 months and that's if it hasn't broken off. If I have to buy a replacement tag from the city they charge $10...bastards.
