+jenn.arrebollo Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Not really sure where to put this since I am still pretty new to caching. I have been a member for awhile, but only recently started finding caches. I want to put a trackable on my dog. He LOVES going out with me and meeting people. I found a "Log My Dog" tag, but I don't really love the design. Can I just use any trackable item on his collar, or does it need to be this tag specifically? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) does it need to be this tag specifically? You may use most any tag you wish with that tracking number on it. Even a fancy one at the laser-engraving machines. Or a doggy sweater or whatever. Keep the original tag in a safe place. Edited July 7, 2015 by kunarion Quote Link to comment

+FourFunKiwis Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 It's the number that matters - but be mindful when looking at other tags. We have a log my dog tag on our poodle and it's small, solid and hard wearing. It's on his collar permanently. The kids have travel bugs out and about and they're both a lot larger and a lot thinner, not really 'collar stable' as such. Quote Link to comment

+honeysucklepie Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Had the same questions, so thank you. SO....if I want to find other dogs, how do you search dog trackables in your area? We visit a lot of dog parks. Thanks! Edited August 5, 2015 by honeysucklepie Quote Link to comment

We visit a lot of dog parks. Thanks! Well, it's not like a cache where sometimes the trackable inventory's correct... You'll have to scout around to spot one. Bring treats. I'd think trails and events might be a better bet than the scene you'd make at busy dog parks. Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 The "Log My Dog" that I've discovered have been pointed out by the dog's geocaching owner when we were on a geocaching hike together, or at a geocaching event together. They're more like a trackable name tag or a trackable T-shirt, something the owner let's you discover when you meet them, not something you'll discover on your own. Quote Link to comment
