Dog tag -- what info to include?

Winston chewed his first tag all to heck, so it's time to order a new one.

The first side will say:

"WINSTON"
THE OURLASTNAMES
212-555-9090
123 OURSTREET
OURTOWN, ST

What I have so far for the second side:

AVID MICROCHIPPED
#123-456-789
1-800-336-2843
VPI #X-12345
REWARD!!

Is the VPI number worth including? If he were lost and injured, I would want a vet to treat him without thinking twice. But as a consequence of that, there's no room to include his vet's phone number.

And as a side consequence, the tag is now chock full of info and makes me look paranoid and obsessive, although there's no getting away from that because it's true.

-- And I read at one website that putting your dog's name on his tag doubles the chance that whoever finds him will keep him.

Opinions, please!
