Your Pup Should Have ID by Wendon Lee

You can be the most attentive, loving, and responsible puppy owner ever. But despite all that, your puppy may still go missing. If she does, she might well end up in an animal shelter, where nearly a third of the numerous millions of dogs they gather up every year are house pets who somehow got separated from those that love them. If the owners of these poor creatures cannot be located and no other loving family members decides to take them home, then they're all but certain| to be euthanized not long after they are picked up on the street. Your own puppy can easily avoid this fate, nevertheless, by simply having some type of ID on her at all times.

The conventional method of doggie ID is a tag hanging from her collar. This tag ought to have the fundamental info essential for anybody who finds your missing puppy to obtain in touch with you. That would consist of your name, address and phone numbe. This information may also be engraved on a metal plate attached to the surface of the collar, or it can woven into the material of a personalized collar.

But collars are not foolproof. They can be lost or removed. Two other methods of ID don't have this issue. Some owners have their puppy tattooed with a number that's registered with a national group that keeps track of such things, like I.D. Pet. The issue with this of course is that a lot of people who may discover your missing puppy would have no concept what that number means. You could also have your name, address and phone number tattooed on your puppy, but that is a great deal of information to place on a small animal (and it could be out of date the moment you moved or changed your quantity). Some also say the tattoo fades with time.

Probably the most modern puppy ID technique is to have a microchip about the size of a grain of rice implanted between the puppy's shoulder blades. That chip can be scanned with a device like a grocery store scanner, which would turn up a number registered with a microchip manufacturer who has all of the information about the puppy. The average animal shelter has such a scanner, but the average individual who might discover your dog doesn't. So the very best answer is really a combination of solutions: a microchip for the shelter, collar tags for the great Samaritan who finds your wayward puppy and brings her to safety.
