Celebrate National Pet ID Week by increasing the odds of being reunited with your pet by taking every precaution. Collars and tags are a reliable way to identify your pet should he become lost. The tag could include information such as: Pet’s name, your family’s name and address, Telephone numbers, Any medical problem requiring medication (may require separate tag), and Veterinarian’s name and number. Microchipping is another great ID method. Microchipping involves implanting a tiny capsule under your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. The tiny chip is about the size of a grain of rice and contains a special number just for your pet. Once placed, register your information to the microchip company with current contact and alternate contact information. When a pet is found many animal care and control agencies, veterinary clinics, and police departments can quickly identify the number and contact the microchip company to reunite your family with your beloved pet.
