Lost Dog - Be Prepared - Part 1
This is Part 1 to our series on how to prepare if your dog gets lost. We never plan on our dog getting lost. We think that it might not happen to our dog. But it does happen and it may happen to your dog. The following series will help you be prepared in such an emergency.
Identification - To begin - your dog should have an ID Tag on his collar with up-to-date information. This ID Tag should have 2-3 phone numbers on it. Phone numbers are recommended more than address and phone number because the odds of someone just dropping your dog off is less than trying to call you to arrange a reunion. What I have done on mine is put my cell phone, home phone and work phone. I KNOW someone will reach me somewhere and I'll be looking for calls if one of my dogs is missing.
Some people even put "REWARD" in the place of the dog's name so if someone finds the dog, they might be more motivated to return the dog rather than keeping it themselves. Just be prepared to pay up when they return your dog.
Homework - Check your dog's ID Tags. If they don't have one - go get one! We have many styles of ID Tags. Our Red Dingo tags have a life-time guarantee on the engraving. They don't wear off in 6 months like those ones you find a big box pet stores. That is important! If your dog has a tag, make sure all the information is correct and current.
Stay tuned for Part 2!
