Picking a pet ID tag for your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange is like buying an insurance policy – you do it with the faith that you’ll never need it. The “possible cost” of not having a pet ID tag is more costly than the “actual cost” of buying the pet tag itself.
The type of pet ID tag that you buy is crucial, so take 5 minutes or so to consider it. Impulsively buying a collar tag because it’s low cost or cute usually ends up being foolish, in the long term.
Consider this before choosing any pet identification tag for your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange:
1.What is the level of risk to your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange?
Lost Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Oranges are definitely common – we’ve all seen “Lost Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange!” signs posted around town, or deceased dogs lying along the edge of the road. If your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange is a master at breaking through the fence, or cannot help following a smell, or youthful and vigorous, or isn’t correctly trained, the risk of a missing Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange is high.
But losing your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange isn’t the only possibility.
Some Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Oranges get stolen. A pet thief may steal Spot or Rover hoping to get a reward for its return, or to use in pit battles (even small or gentle dogs are at risk – they can be used as “bait”), or for use in religious rituals.
And what is the risk to your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange if something happens to you, its owner?
If you’re a senior citizen with a Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange, particularly if you live alone or are in poor health, there’s a high chance that at some point someone else may need to care for your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange, perhaps with short notice. And anyone can be hit with a disaster or tragedy which renders you unable to care for your companion.
In this case, will your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange’s temporary or new steward know that Fido hates cats, or requires medication, or even whether or not Max is housetrained? A pet identification that has more than your name and phone number would be very beneficial.
2.What level of danger are you ok with?
Some Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Oranges are simply more important to their owners, and the risk of losing that pet calls for a specific, more expensive type of pet ID tag. Risk is proportional to value.
Realize that there is more than one way to determine the value of your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange. It may be monetary (e.g., a purebred Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange) or functional (e.g., a guide dog).
But for most Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange owners, the sentimental attachment they have to their Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange determines its value. For many owners, Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Oranges are members of the family, impossible to replace and dearly loved.
3.From your answers to the two previous queries, what do you require of a pet ID tag?
Pet identification tags come in various sizes, shapes and materials and can contain varying amounts of information. Some contain logos or artwork, too. Most pet ID tags are meant to be attached to a collar.
At the minimum, a pet identification tag should contain the phone number, name and address of the Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange’s owner in a legible, durable format. Plastic tags are light but easily chewed. Stainless steel tags are durable and don’t rust or fade. These traditional kinds of tags can purchased from any animal doctor or pet store. They’re cheap but the amount of information they hold is limited to the size of the tag.
Fortunately, you have many more options of pet ID tags for your Grand Anglo-Francais Blanc Et Orange these days, such as microchipping, tattooing, digital display tags, pet registry web sites and voice recorded pet identification tags.
One of the newer entries in the pet identification market is the high-tech USB drive that hangs off your pet’s collar (or is attached to their kennel) and which holds 64MB of data (including comprehensive diet and medical information). The tiny USB drive is encased in a sturdy plastic case and can be used in any computer, where it is automatically updated and easy to print sections for sharing with your vet or pet sitter. There are also bluetooth devices for tracking, but their range is low, due to bluetooth technological limits.
