Lost and found pets skin#
MICROCHIPS : Microchips are about the size of a grain of rice and ar e implanted just beneath the surface of the skin between the shoulder blades. ID TAGS: Identification tags should include up to date contact information (address and phone number of owner) and can be purchased at many pet supply stores, veterinary offices and online vendors. If you have a hard time keeping a collar on your pet (or if the pet is stolen and the collar is removed), you will want to have another method of identification such as a permanent microchip Lost pets often lose their collar and ID tag (or in cases of stolen pets a collar can be removed) and can only be identified by their microchip It is important that all pets have both permanent and visible forms of ID. If you own a cat or dog, please be sure your pet always wears a collar with a current ID tag, rabies tag and has a microchip. It is also a requirement under state law for dogs, cats and ferrets 4 months of age and older to be currently vaccinated against rabies and wear a valid rabies tag. Unfortunately, most animals have no identification tags or microchip, making it nearly impossible to find the owner. Multiple forms of ID greatly increase the likelihood that you will be reunited with your lost pet.īurlington Animal Services takes in thousands of lost or stray animals each year. In accordance with state law, lost or stray animals are held for a minimum of 72 hours. Each animal received is checked for a microchip or other form of identification. Register your pet on Petco Love Lost using the link above as well as on PawBoost.
