Make sure your pet can be returned to you in case it gets lost. Always have it wear an identification tag at all times. The tag should include your pet’s name and your contact number because it will be your pet’s ticket home. Provide an important extra level of protection by considering pet microchips.

Microchips will still help with identification if your pet becomes separated from his collar and tag. Microchips typically last for at least 25 years, more than the lifetime of a pet. Attaching both tag and microchip on your pet will help ensure a happy reunion in case the unthinkable happens.
