Make sure your pet has id!
Does your pet have ID?
There are so many posts/websites for missing/runaway/lost pets...mostly cats and dogs.
If you REALLY LOVE your pet, no matter the species, you should make certain that it has some sort of ID. The best, and not likely to get lost, is the microchip. Painlessly injected under the skin, when scanned it can reconnect you through the scan company with your loved one.
Of course the more traditional method is the tag on a collar. I can speak from experience that this can have several problem, but is easy to get at most pet stores. This provides a quick way for someone to contact you without having to find someone with a scanner.
Even if you think you are just letting your dog out into the yard they should have ID on them. You never know if they will find a way out or escape. Loud noises or a good scent may cause them to bolt out of the yard or house. Having a collar on them can facilitate them being caught.
If you can't find it in you budget or heart to do this simple act of love, maybe you shouldn't have a pet. Should you find yourself in this situation, please contact a shelter or foster organization. They will make sure your pet finds a safe and loving furever home.
