Dog Tips- What Happens If Your Dog gets Lost?
What happens if your dog gets lost? Hopefully this wil not happen but if it does if you love your dog and your a responsible dog owner he will be returned to you if you had bought him a collar with his name and your address or Phone number on the tag he is wearing. What is the Best identification for your dog?
There are several types. Here are some types of identification for your pets. Basic tags and collars. This type is easy to spot and anybody who sees a dog running loose can simply look down and check to see what family he belongs to.
But these can easily be removed or torn off and their are people out there who will be more than happy to see a puppy running around by himself and remove its collar in order to take it home or return it, if their is a reward offered….
Then there are Microchips which can be surgically implanted into your dog underneath the skin and generally in between the shoulder blades.
They are real small and if the dogcatcher picks the dog up they have scanners to check and will give you a call. Another form of identification is tattoo it can be done quite easy and is does not cost alot. So be sure to get some kind of identification for your dog just in case he decides to go exploring aroung the neighborhood and should get lost…But I think it wold be a great idea if you just keep an eye out and check on him now and then to see he has not left your home. If you have a fence in your backyard then you can set your mind at ease but still get your dog some kind of Identification just in case he digs a hole and gets out. Smile.. All of mine have collars with tags.
