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 Even some animals with tattoos and microchips are rendered unidentifiable because the owner registry information is out of date.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!

Pretty Pink Blanket

Heady days of summer fun, picnics and ice cream. Memories of cream teas, sticks of Brighton rock, the cake stand at the village summer fete, pink polka dot bikinis and rows and rows of multi-coloured deck chairs. All these things lurk in the back of my mind when I think of summer and are so appropiate for the new summer range of  blanketID tags. It's so important for an ID tag to be visible and this 'pink' range will definitely stand out on any fur background!

Lucky kittens

You might have seen the two kittens I posted on Facebook  a month ago both covered in food from munching away - well here are some new pictures of them with their foster parents and just as happy as larry!
These are the only two remaining from a litter of five all found without a mum. Unfortunately, the other three passed soon after being found, but these two, brother and sister, have overcome everything that has been thrown their way. Apart from a stiff joint from a previous infection and being tiny for their age are doing really well. It's amazing that just a month ago I could hold them in the palm of my hand.
Catherine from VPAS is one of the foster parents and loves them so much she might just have to keep them unless really good parents can be found.... uh oh!

                       The pictures from just a few weeks ago! They had to be bathed everytime they had a meal!
