PetLifeRadio.com - The Pet Doctor - Episode 80 Whose Doggie Is That in the Window? Pet Identification Systems- More Than Just an ID Tag!

Summary: If you have had pets in your lifetime, you have undoubtedly shared the fear of losing them to the great outdoors-- an innocent mistake like leaving the door ajar can leave your family devastated and your pets unprotected on the streets. Dogs often wear identification tags, and if the loose dog permits a kind stranger to get close enough to read the tag, your pet could be in luck-- but that is not always the case. Tags and collars can be lost and information on tags may not be current- especially in cases of emergency evacuations- when pets are separated from their owners and owners are forced to leave the location on the pet tag. As for cats, they do not often wear id collars-- as collars would interfere with their playing and bird catching and could be dangerous. Mr. Gary MacPhee, director and general manager of HomeAgain, a microchip company for pets discusses everything there is to know about pet identification systems with us and shares a great reunion audio of Gypsy, the miracle dog, returned home from over 500 miles with the help of her HomeAgain microchip!
