“The numbers of stray dogs and cats always increases during the summer months,” reports Ginger Scott, Lost & Found Program Supervisor at Town Lake Animal Center,. So with summer vacation just around the corner, it's a good time to make sure all your pets have on a collar and identification tag. An ID tag on your pet with your name and current phone number will greatly increase the likelihood of getting your pet back quickly and safely.
Talk to your veterinarian about microchipping also. A small chip, the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under the skin of the animal and if your pet is scanned at a veterinarians office or the local shelter, the chip will alert the clinic or shelter that your pet is owned and they'll be able to contact the chip-maker so that they can contact you right away.
