Picking a pet ID tag for your Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir is like purchasing insurance – you do so with the hopes that you’re never going to use it. The “possible cost” of not having a pet ID tag is more costly than the “actual cost” of purchasing the pet tag itself.
The type of pet identification tag that you buy is crucial, so take five minutes or so to consider it. Whimsically picking a collar tag because it’s low cost or pretty usually proves to be foolish, long-term.
Consider the following prior to buying any pet id tag for your Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir:
1.What is the level of risk to your Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir?
Missing Chien Francais Blanc Et Noirs are definitely common – we have all seen “Lost Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir!” signs tacked around town, or deceased Chien Francais Blanc Et Noirs lying along the edge of the road. If your Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir is a master at escaping your fence, or cannot resist following a smell, or youthful and vigorous, or is not correctly trained, the risk of a lost Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir is high.
But losing your Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir isn’t the only possibility.
Some Chien Francais Blanc Et Noirs get stolen. A pet thief may steal Fifi or Fido in hopes of getting a reward for its return, or to use in dog battles (even small or gentle dogs are at risk – they can be used as “bait”), or for use in cult rituals.
And what is the danger to your Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir if something happens to you, the owner?
If you’re a senior citizen with a Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir, especially if you live alone or are in poor health, there’s a good chance that at some point someone else will need to care for your Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir, perhaps with little notice. And anyone can be struck by disaster or tragedy that leaves you unable to care for your Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir.
In this instance, will your Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir’s new or temporary caregiver know that Spot hates cats, or requires medication, or even whether or not Max is housetrained? A pet ID tag that contains more than your name and phone number would be extremely beneficial.
2.What amount of risk are you comfortable with?
Some Chien Francais Blanc Et Noirs are just more important to their owners, and the risk of losing that particular animal calls for a specific, more expensive kind of pet identification tag. Risk is proportionate to value.
Keep in mind that there are multiple ways to assess the value of your Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir. It may be monetary (e.g., a purebred Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir) or functional (e.g., a guide dog).
However for most Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir owners, the sentimental attachment they have with their Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir determines its value. For many owners, Chien Francais Blanc Et Noirs are family, impossible to replace and dearly loved.
3.Based on your answers to the two previous queries, what do you require of a pet ID tag?
Pet ID tags come in varying shapes, sizes and materials and can contain varying amounts of information. Some have logos or artwork, also. Many pet identification tags are designed to be hung from a collar.
At the minimum, a pet ID tag should contain the phone number, name and address of the Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir’s owner in a legible, durable format. Plastic tags are light but chewed easily. Stainless steel tags are durable and don’t rust or fade. These traditional types of tags can purchased from any vet or pet store. They’re inexpensive but the amount of info they hold is limited to the size of the tag.
Luckily, there are many more options for pet identification tags for your Chien Francais Blanc Et Noir these days, such as tattooing, microchipping, digital display tags, voice recorded pet identification tags, and pet registry websites.
One of the recent entries in the pet identification game is the high-tech USB drive that hangs from your pet’s collar (or is attached to their cage) and which can hold 64MB of data (including comprehensive diet and medical information). The small USB drive is encased in a sturdy polymer case and can be used in any computer, where it is automatically updated and easy to print sections for sharing with your veterinarian or pet sitter. There also exist bluetooth devices for tracking, but their range is severely limited, due to bluetooth technological limits.
