April 17-23 National Pet ID Week

 

Its National Pet ID Week! AND its starting on a Friday this year! Yes, Weeks usually start on Monday but  National Pet ID Week is observed annually from April 17-23 as a way to educate pet owners and remind them of the importance of pet identification. Losing a pet is any owner's nightmare, so you should do everything you can to ensure your treasured dogs and cats are properly identified.

Our sister Nutmeg is really lucky.  

If she lived anywhere else and someone saw her out walking in the cold (by herself), they might think she was a lost dog!

Almost everyone knows who she is and where she lives and would bring her home IF she was alone. In this photo, Nutmeg decided she was Cold and started home by herself. Mom got a shot of her just as she walked up the drive way. Alex realized that she was gone and was just out of the photo behind her. 

BUT even if she lived where no one knew her or her name Mom (and Alex) have made sure that they have taken the 3 steps to ensure that she WILL make it home.

1. They make sure that she is always wearing an ID tag and a Collar.  

Nutmeg's collar has 3 tags, 1. is her Midway Dog Licence. This tag is registered at the village office and there they can look it up and call Mom. 2. Nutmeg also has a rabies tag. This tag has a QR Code and when scannned it gives the person the name and phone number of the Vet's office and Nutmeg's name. 2. This is a tag that has Nutmeg's name and Mom's phone number on it.
 

2. Nutmeg is Microchipped. 

When she was spayed, Mom got Nutmeg Microchipped. Mom went to their website and added all of Nutmeg's information. When her chip is scanned, the chip reader displays the website and Nutmeg's information is readily available.

3. Have the pet's current vet records, photos and identifying information readily available.

Because we live in a remote rural area that can be subject to flooding and wild fires, part of the Go Bag that we keep ready, there are records of all of us animals (and Mom and Alex) 

Mom has an expandable folder with all the relevent house info and the Pet Sections has our photos, vaccination and vet history, microchip information. This is helpful for sharing each pet's details (and for quickly and easily identifying the pet and proving ownership.) Mom says getting ready for this post reminded her that all of our current information should be checked and she updated our Photos! 

This is the Photo that Nutmeg picked

 

Keep Being AWESOME!
