 Most of us put collars on our dogs and we might even remember to put ID tags on them, their license from the town, and maybe the rabies tag from our vet. However, we also know these items wear down, collars can fall off, and in some cases even pose a health hazard to our dogs.
When dogs play with each other they can get tangled up in each other’s collar, they can get stuck on a fence, ID tags fall off some times. My guys swim and the salt water can harm them too. I am not telling you to not have collars or ID tags on your pets but think about your pet and its lifestyle. My big boys play rough so when we are home they have no collar on which makes me nervous because I like to have ID tags on my dogs. I recently discovered these http://store.petsafe.net/keepsafe-collar. These are safety breakaway collars. I have not tried them out yet but they will be ordered soon and I will be giving a product review on them. I would suggest watching the video on their website. My cats do not wear a collar. They are indoor only cats and I feel no need to have a collar on them, again this is for safety reasons. Yet, I do understand why an indoor only cat as well at an indoor-outdoor cat would have a collar on, identification is important. Again I would suggest a safety breakaway collar for a cat just like the ones for the dogs. Here is one site that has the safety collars for cats http://www.coastalpet.com/products/product/scc01.aspx?style=07001. It is important to know that these collars are designed to “break away” or “break open” when a pet pulls on them so I would not use it all the time but they do have a place and a purpose. Having ID tags is important and key to getting a lost pet returned home and so are microchips. We promote the use of Home Again microchips here at Companion Veterinary Health Center. They are an ISO9000 chip and can be used in dogs and cats. They are injected under the skin and have an anti-migration feature to them to help them stay put in your pet. HomeAgain Microchips do require an annual membership but with that membership there are perks and they can save you lots of money. They offer a Lost Pet Recovery Network - this is why you should upload a photo of your pet to its HomeAgain account. If your pet ever goes missing, HomeAgain makes a listing in a national lost pet network with its photo and your contact information is listed with it. HomeAgain offers Rapid Lost Pet Alerts – these are real-time lost pet alerts to people in your area such as vets, shelters, and PetRescues. Another feature is Personalized Lost Pet Poster – you can create your lost pet poster on HomeAgain and start your search faster with the help of their easy template. 24/7 Lost Pet Specialists – when your pet is found, HomeAgain is contacted and validates that it is your missing pet and contacts you to arrange the reunion. 24/7 Emergency Medical Hotline – Telephone assistance from licensed ASPCA Veterinarians. Travel Assistance for Found Pets – Up to $500.00 in pet airfare when your cat or dog is found over 500 miles away (certain restrictions do apply). You also have access to Animal Poison Control when your pet has an active membership and one phone call is about a $65.00 value. In the case of a missing or stolen pet your pet’s microchip will ensure you are indeed that pets owner. It is a unique ID# no other pet in the world has the same microchip number, even if the microchip is not a HomeAgain, all the companies have unique numbers and never duplicate them. Please check out HomeAgain at http://public.homeagain.com/ to reach out to them for any reason. You can also register a non-HomeAgain microchip with them and get full HomeAgain benefits. Please call us today at 860-779-6070 to schedule you pet’s microchipping appointment. Thank you for reading this today. Nancy

If you have a pet, then it is best to get a proper identification for it. Well, the world is a big place, if you do not take care of your pet, then there might come a time when you lose him. If you ask me, pets can be really hard to deal with, in fact, there are times when they just run around the street. If you want to protect your pets, then process their identification. It is a hassle, but it is all worth it. 12/28/2019 02:22:54 am
The fact that the Sphynx is a hairless cat is only a small part of why we are Sphynx lovers. Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens have very unique personalities. I really do not consider myself an owner of Sphynx cats, because really, my Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens own me! Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens love their owners unconditionally. The Sphynx has so much love to give and is willing to love anyone that will allow them into their lives. 3/30/2020 07:52:31 am

Pet health care is really good. I love the way you love and take care of pets like your local service. I like what you conveyed in the article 5/12/2020 02:22:18 am
It's interesting how you explain that a dog will breathe quickly if e is stressed or hot but also if he is in pain. My sister told me that she found a dog on the street and she took it home to feed him. I will recommend her to take the dog to the vet because she told me that the dog seems to be in pain. 6/26/2020 01:20:27 am

Hahah I felt like such a party animal because my husband and I managed to stay up late enough to watch the megamillions drawing. I then went to bed right away trying not to be upset over the fact that I wouldn't be flying to Fiji today with my winnings. :( 7/23/2021 05:43:16 am

There are also several dams for the dogs to wade in, and an abundance of bird life to keep an eye on. As an added bonus, the park also boasts ample parking and security. 8/21/2021 05:09:43 am

You made my day reading this. Shelter dogs are wonderful. and yes you certainly can get a purebred if thats what you have your mind st on as some who have bought a purebred and found they werent fitting onto their lifestyle . I have known a number of people who have ‘bought ‘ (it makes me shudder) a Frenchie and they find out the breed is prey driven or perhaps is very high strung. Also buying a dog you are never sure if i involves a puppy mill. 9/21/2021 04:59:14 am

Your presence can give your dog the confidence to explore new things, and your dog will look to you for information when presented with a new or stressful item. 12/11/2021 05:54:24 am
The egg carton is a great idea! I have a growing collection of vintage ornaments, I think I managed to pack them all away safely but I'll have to remember the egg carton trick for next year 12/19/2021 07:34:21 am

Some days can be so overwhelming, though, that we must practice focusing our minds on Him that our hearts not be led astray. This is where the Word comes in.” I couldn’t agree more! When my time in the Word is lacking, every area of my life suffers. 1/20/2022 02:50:28 am
Most people in lieu of adopting a pet will not adopt a starving child, or divert every disposable dollar to children’s charities. But, it makes a huge difference to the life of that one adopted animal to come to a loving home. Leave a Reply. |
