All pets should be microchipped
- Microchips help to give your pet the best chance of being
identified should they ever become lost.
- Although tags are important, they can tear or slip
off.
- A microchip is placed under your pet's skin.
- The microchip is scanned with a reader by animal clinics and
humane societies.
- Microchips are convenient, safe and reliable.
- The procedure is simple and inexpensive.
ONE in THREE pets will become lost during their lifetime!
Everyone thinks it can't happen to them-but accidents
happen-the door doesn't close, a pet slips out of their collar,
there is a natural disaster , etc. It is important that you have
safeguards in place in case your pet becomes lost.
1.Collar & Tag - listing your
name, address and phone number. You can also have this information
put directly on the collar in case the tags come off.
2. Microchip - a permanent identification that is always
available.
3. Pet proof your yard fence and keep your fence gates securely
locked.
4. Never allow pets to roam free in the neighborhood.
5. Always transport a cat in a carrier.
6. Always have your dog on a leash when you take them
somewhere.
7. Spay or neuter them-they are less likely to wander away.
