Every pet owner needs to tag and microchip their pets. There are so many stories of long-lost pets reunited with their owners weeks and even years after going missing thanks to tags and microchips.
New pets should be outfitted with collars and tags immediately. Pet stores such as Petco have quick and inexpensive kiosks where you can make your essential tags, some are quite cute if you want to pay a little more.
Microchipping can be done at your local shelter or veterinarian's office, and is inexpensive and quick as well. Most microchips cost between $25 to $40.
You never know what can happen that will separate you from your beloved pet. If he or she is found by a stranger, if your phone number is easily found on a tag, they can readily call you and your pet is soon home. If not, a microchip is the next best thing. And best of all, of course, is if your pet is always safe at home.
