Be the Change - Lost Pets and Visible ID

Blog the change for animals. Organized by the happy folks at Go Pet Friendly and This one Wild Life, it's about pet bloggers posting about a cause near and dear to their hearts. Of course, here at blanket it's going to be all about the vital need for pets to wear a visible ID tag!

Here's a staggering statistic: 90% of lost pets wearing visible ID tags are returned to their owners. 90% of lost pets wearing no ID are never seen again.

It's a sad fact that millions (MILLIONS) of animals are euthanized in overcrowded shelters every year. A large number of them suffer this fate simply because they are not wearing VISIBLE ID and cannot be identified and returned to their owners. Even some animals with tattoos and microchips are rendered unidentifiable because the owner registry information is out of date. Tagging your pet with visible ID is the best way by far to ensure a quick and safe return of your furry friend. Microchips or tattoos work well too, and every pet should have one, but to give yourself extra peace of mind and your pet the best possible chance of making it back home safe and quick they need visible ID.

We don't want to name a specific cause just to say a big thanks to all the shelter/rescue folk out there working tirelessly for animals in need.

So,whatever tag you choose make sure it has your up to date information on it and it's visible to the general public!
