Would I know who your pet was?
If your pet was on my porch, would I know that he or she belonged to you? All cats and dogs should have identification, whether you think they need it or not. pets that are always indoors can get out accidentally and may not be able to find their way home. There are different ways to identify your pet. The two main ways are with a tag and a microchip.
- A tag is attached to the collar. It’s the least expensive way to identify your pet but tags can fall off, as well as get dirty, old and hard to read.
- A microchip is tiny electronic chip that is implanted under your pet’s skin by injection.The microchips are registered in a database that shelters and pounds check when an animal comes in. They are more expensive than tags but last longer.
No matter which way you choose make sure there’s a way to identify your pet if he or she gets out.
