Often we receive phone calls or e-mails from distraught pet owners when their
pet has gotten lost. We know there are a number of reasons how a beloved pet
can get lost, and some we have no control over.  As we have witnessed from
recent natural disasters that pets are often the one's left behind or forced to the
end of the line. Fortunately there are things as a pet owner you can do to help
your pet find there way home if they do become lost.

1. Always keep identification on your pet. Check their collar often to make sure
it fits properly. Keep an identification tag with current information attached to
the collar.
2.  Have your pet Micro chipped. This is a very simple procedure that can be
done in a matter of moments. To learn more about micro chips visit

3. Always keep your pet contained in a safe place.
4. Keep a current photo of your pet for identification.
5. Make sure that your neighbors know your pet.

contact.
