Finding A Lost Dog

Losing a pet of any kind can be quite
devastating.  You must be prepared,
however, for the day when little Princess
bolts out the door and disappears around
the corner.  The steps you took in advance
may make the difference in whether you
ever see Princess again.

All pets need to wear an ID tag.  Even indoor
pets as they can, and do escape.  Each ID
tag should have your name, address and
both a day and evening phone number.  
Your pet's name can also be included.  
Something to consider is whether you will
want to offer a reward for a safe return.  If
so, simply add the word "Reward" to the
tag.  Such a tag can hasten the return of a
lost pet.

More elaborate methods of ID would include
tattoos or chip implants.  Check with your
local animal shelters and veterinarian to see
if they have a data base to help locate lost
pets with these methods  before you
consider them.

Losing a pet is indeed devastating, but
getting them home safely is quite a reward.
