Identification on your dog provides the fastest and best way to get your dog home if he should slip away and get lost. Ensure that your dog wears a collar with an identification tag at all times. This tag should include your contact information and your dog’s name so he is more likely to be comforted by anyone who follows him. A collar is also a clear indicator that your dog is a beloved pet and more likely to be returned. Consider getting your dog microchipped. This chip is inserted under the skin and when scanned, it provides data to point to your contact information so your dog can be returned. Scanners are available at animal shelters, police departments and many vet offices. Ensure that you keep your contact information up to date. A combination of these two methods works well for most families. For additional information, contact your Sugar Land, TX veterinarian. Visit their profile to know more.
