April 17th - 23rd is National Pet ID Week π·
This week is incredibly important!
It is unfortunate that many pets go missing each year and are never reunited with their families due to a lack of identification.
July 4th celebrations are just a few months away. Did you know that more dogs and cats go missing on July 4th than any other day due to the sights and sounds of fireworks? π
βWe get that your furry friends are like family to you. We want to share some helpful tips in this blog to ensure your pets stay happy and safe. β€οΈ
Why should you I.D. your pet?
Β· A cat or dog who wears a personalized ID tag is more likely to be returned home.
Β· A properly fitted collar with an I.D. tag displaying your name and phone number.
Β· An implanted microchip is an excellent method to ensure you will be reunited with your lost pet.
Β· All veterinarian hospitals, shelters, and animal control have scanners to identify your pet.
Beware of Pet I.D. Scams!
Anyone can buy a microchip scanner, so please be aware of e-mails that ask you to update your personal information and ask for a payment. Please check with your petβs microchip provider if this is a legitimate e-mail.
