- If you are willing to pay a reward, put the word “reward” on the tag, too.
- If you are traveling, put a temporary tag on your pet with the contact information of someone who knows how to reach you.
- Use a collar especially made for cats that has a short piece of elastic sewn in it. These collars allow the cat to escape if it gets caught on furniture or other material.
- Tag your cat even if you never let it outside. It could slip through an open door and easily become lost in the neighborhood.
PLEASE KEEP INFORMATION UPDATED
Microchip This is a tiny electronic capsule that is embedded under the pet’s skin. Microchipping is a great resource because when a pet is found, any agency with a scanner, including many animal care and control agencies, veterinary clinics and research labs, can quickly identify a code that links the animal to its owner through a database. This information must be up to date. Your pet needs a microchip even if it wears a collar with tags because a microchip provides permanent ID that cannot fall off, be removed, or become impossible to read. Proper identification is your single best chance for finding your missing companion! We offer low-cost microchipping at our Preventive Health Care Clinic to help assist you in properly caring for your pet. Please call 941-474-7884 for more information or to set up an appointment.Post Comments
