Dog and Cat Identification Tags While most pet owners believe that losing a pet happens to someone else, statistics reveal that losing a dog or cat happens frequently. Any pet can get lost - even yours. That’s why your dog and cat needs an identification tag with a name, address and phone number. It’s their ticket home. A recent (1998) National Council on Pet Population Study discovered that 3.8 million dogs and 2.3 million cats entering the nation’s shelters were strays. Of these only 17% of dogs and 2% of the cats were reunited with their owners. If these animals had had an up to-date ID tag they would have gone home. Most shelters agree that lost pets picked up by animal control who are wearing some sort of identification tag usually get home. Tagging your pet is an easy thing to do. Even if your cat or dog has a microchip or tattoo identification, a visible ID makes it very easy for anyone to identify your pet and return them safely to you. There are a variety of methods of identification, which can be used by the pet owner.
Tags come in all shapes and sizes to fit the size of your pet and are readily available. You can obtain them at any pet store, veterinarian office or animal shelter. A tag is your pet’s ticket home. Please contact Bishop Animal Shelter if you have any questions about Identification tags. Don’t let your pet leave home without one! Please remember to spay or neuter your pet.
