Proper Identification can be a Lifesaver for Lost Dogs
When burglars broke into April Castro’s Texas home last week, they took more than just the usual electronics and jewelry. They took her four-legged family member, a Maltese named Frankie. According to the American Kennel Club, cases of dog theft are on the rise, and veterinarians suggest that you make every effort to be sure your pets can be identified. According to the American Animal Hospital Association, 30% of pet owners have lost their pet at some point, and many veterinarians believe that up to 90% of pets that are lost are never reunited with their owners.
“Pets get separated from their owners for a number of reasons,” says Dr. Susan Culp, Pets America Board Chair.”Some are stolen, like Frankie, but many others simply wander away from their owners on an outing or escape from the yard.” Culp suggests that having multiple methods of identification can be key to a happy reunion.
- Add a tag—Low-cost tags with additional contact numbers can be an important addition to the traditional veterinary rabies tag. Also, add a tag with local contact numbers when traveling.
- Get a microchip—The cost of microchips has dropped dramatically, and the information stored on the rice-sized chip implanted between your pet’s shoulder blades can help veterinarians and shelters make sure your pet gets home safely. Just be sure to keep your registration information updated with the microchip company.
- Keep up-to-date photographs on file—If your pet goes missing, up to date photographs can make it easy to get the word out fast.
