Every Day Is Tag Day: Why Your Pet Needs ID
Owning a dog or cat can provide many wonderful years of friendship, fun, and love. During your time together, you are likely to take your pets outdoors or have occasions where they might slip out and run away, such as going to the vet. This is just one reason why pet tags are so important. April 3rd is known as Tag Day. Learn more about how ID can help your pet and why every day should be considered tag day.
Getting Back Home Safely
If pets become lost at any point, having a tag on them can get them back home sooner. Pet tags can include everything from the animal's name, the name of the owner, their address, and phone number(s). Although microchipping your pet can help you and your dog or cat reunite, there is no question of ownership whatsoever when there is a tag present. Make sure your pet always has a tag on the collar when going on trips.
Showing Vaccination Proof
Along with a name tag and contact information for your pet, it is helpful to include any vaccination tags, too. This shows anyone who runs into your pets or picks them up that your animals are up to date on vaccinations and cannot transmit certain diseases to anyone. Even if you simply take your pet outdoors, such as going hiking with your dog, having a rabies tag is useful if you encounter a DNR officer and need to prove your pet had vaccinations.
Although Tag Day serves as a helpful reminder to keep your pet safe, having tags on your pets is something you should practice all year. In the event you become separated, having a tag makes it easier for anyone to contact you and bring your pet back to you quickly. There are many options for tag colors and styles that can mesh with your pet's personality and needs, and it is a small, worthwhile investment for both animals and their families.
