Help Fido And Fluffy Find Their Way Home!
By PetFriendly.ca, Fri Dec 9th
Most devoted pet owners never intend to lose their beloved pets.Unfortunately, accidents happen and all pets need identificationto help reunite them with their families. That includes indoorcats! Scared or excited pets can slip out the door before youcan stop them. Check with your city for any licensing or identificationrequirements for your pet. Here are your three main choices.Many pet owners opt to use a combination of them, just in caseone form of ID fails. __1. LICENSE TAG.
Usually purchased from the city, your pet is assigned a numberwhich is tracked in a computer database. Tags are attached toyour pet's collar. If your pet is found, the animal controlofficer can check the tag number, pull up your address, and callyou to let you know they have your pet. Many pet stores also offer an option to print up a simpleaddress tag -- your pet's name, address, and phone number arethe most commonly displayed information. The disadvantages of using a tag are: the tag can fall off andget lost; it might not be readable; your pet may not always bewearing its collar; your pet may slip out of or lose its collar. __2. TATTOO. Tattoos are commonly etched into one of your pet's ears duringspay/neuter surgery (pets must be under anesthetic for thisprocedure). Tattoos are a visible and somewhat permanent methodof identification. Unlike tags, tattoos are not reliant on your pet wearing itscollar. However tattoos usually
fade over time, making themillegible. They can be retraced ... but since pets must be underanesthetic and there is always a risk with anesthetic, retracinga tattoo should be done at the same time your pet is undergoinganother procedure anyways. __3. MICROCHIP. A microchip is a small, electronic chip (approximately the sizeof a grain of rice) that is implanted just under your pet'sskin. It is administered by a simple injection. Microchips each have an identification number associated withthem; along with this ID number, your name, address, and phonenumber are entered into a computer database. If your pet getslost, animal shelters or city pounds equipped with scanners willbe able to scan your pet's body to quickly locate the ID numberof the microchip along with the corresponding owner information.Many shelters and pounds these days are equipped to handlemicrochips. Regardless of what form of ID you choose, please be sure to keepyour contact information up-to-date. It will help ensure thatyour pet finds his way home -- where he belongs.
