Help Fido and Fluffy Find Their Way Home!
Most devoted pet owners never intend to lose their beloved pets. Unfortunately, accidents happen and all pets need identification to help reunite them with their families. That includes indoor cats! Scared or excited pets can slip out the door before you can stop them.
Check with your city for any licensing or identification requirements for your pet. Here are your three main choices. Many pet owners opt to use a combination of them, just in case one form of ID fails.
__1. LICENSE TAG.
Usually purchased from the city, your pet is assigned a number which is tracked in a computer database. Tags are attached to your pet's collar. If your pet is found, the animal control officer can check the tag number, pull up your address, and call you to let you know they have your pet.
Many pet stores also offer an option to print up a simple address tag -- your pet's name, address, and phone number are the most commonly displayed information.
The disadvantages of using a tag are: the tag can fall off and get lost; it might not be readable; your pet may not always be wearing 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 during spay/neuter surgery (pets must be under anesthetic for this procedure). Tattoos are a visible and somewhat permanent method of identification.
Unlike tags, tattoos are not reliant on your pet wearing its collar. However tattoos usually fade
over time, making them illegible. They can be retraced ... but since pets must be under anesthetic and there is always a risk with anesthetic, retracing a tattoo should be done at the same time your pet is undergoing another procedure anyways.
__3. MICROCHIP.
A microchip is a small, electronic chip (approximately the size of a grain of rice) that is implanted just under your pet's skin. It is administered by a simple injection.
Microchips each have an identification number associated with them; along with this ID number, your name, address, and phone number are entered into a computer database. If your pet gets lost, animal shelters or city pounds equipped with scanners will be able to scan your pet's body to quickly locate the ID number of the microchip along with the corresponding owner information. Many shelters and pounds these days are equipped to handle microchips.
Regardless of what form of ID you choose, please be sure to keep your contact information up-to-date. It will help ensure that your pet finds his way home -- where he belongs.
