Like the person said use the Purple Python Tags made by Y-Tex that is the brand name I sell them for $3.00 each already put together so all you do is slide them on the Collar.

I put one in my dogs ear just like they do on the cattle and that didnt work out so well, ear split right down the middle but I think she is going to be ok.

The Directions say they last for 5 months, at least all summer I have usedd them for the last 4 Years and have never had a problem with them.

I use them and they work great. Be damned if I would put one in the dogs ear. I stick with putting them on the collars.
