It\u2019s the perfect time to take stock of all the ways you can protect your pet and greatly increase your chances of reuniting with them if they ever become lost.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span data-ogsc=\"black\">Losing a pet is a stressful, scary and sometimes a costly experience. One in three pets will become lost during their lifetime. Those odds are far too high to put off implementing these protective measures.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span data-ogsc=\"black\">It all starts with the basics: a well-fitting collar with an ID tag. This is essential, even for pets who remain primarily indoors or in fenced yards. Make sure your contact information is always up-to-date, and even if you don\u2019t have tags, writing your phone number in permanent marker directly on a collar can be the difference between a pet going straight back home or entering a shelter!<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span data-ogsc=\"black\">Microchipping is another important step we can take to make our pets easily identifiable if they\u2019re found by someone else. A tiny chip (the size of a grain of rice) containing a unique identification number is placed under the skin of your pet in a quick and painless procedure. Animal shelters and veterinarians can quickly and easily scan for the presence of a microchip. Your contact information will show up, making it easy to identify the lost pet and reunite them with you.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span data-ogsc=\"black\">A third piece of protection for a dog is their license, which is not only required by law, but gives you additional protection. Microchips and licenses serve as supplemental methods of identification to collars and tags, which \u2014 while still critical \u2014 can fall off or become lost. They can also help protect your dog from theft, giving you recourse to reclaim them if they are found in someone else\u2019s possession.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span data-ogsc=\"black\">San Diego Humane Society provides dog licensing services for pet owners in their jurisdiction, as well as affordable microchipping clinics for dogs, cats and other pets. These investments can save pet owners both time and money spent on searching for a lost pet or paying reclamation fees \u2014 and provide valuable peace of mind.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span data-ogsc=\"black\">If you do lose a pet, text LOST to 858-SAN-LOST (858-726-5678) to access San Diego Humane Society\u2019s Lost2Found automated texting service, which provides valuable tips to help in your search. But most importantly, make sure you have taken all the proper steps to protect your pet and ensure they can be identified if they are found as a stray.
