Pet ID - Turning the unknown into the well known
Unfortunately, even when we feel we are using caution around our pets, it only takes one quick sprint out the door for Mittens to escape into uncharted territory. Having a way to identify your pet can be a lifesaver even if your pet is strictly indoors or being monitored. Understanding the different types of identification and how they work is important when finding what best suits you and your pets' lifestyle.
Oftentimes there are many little details that can get missed when setting up your pet's identification. For example, after a pet has gotten their microchip placed, the owner must go online to register the chip in order for it to show the pet's information when being looked up. If the chip is not registered, it will not show the information needed to reunite owner and pet.
Time to have your furry friend microchipped? Give us a call at (541) 752-5595 or shoot us a message on Otto. Our team looks forward to working with you!
