July 1st is National ID Your Pet Day!

More pets go missing during the July 4th weekend fireworks celebration than any other time of year. So identification can make all of the difference if your pet goes missing. Your dog should always have a collar with an ID tag that includes your name, current phone number, and any other important information (such as medical conditions). Let's make sure our pets are safe, and have the proper identification if they were to get out.

And note as well that [the noise produced by] fireworks will not only affect pets but also folks that have served our country. Do your part; be considerate! We are all in this together...

Just us at CopperDog with a little PSA before the holiday weekend!!
