Proper identification of your pet is extremely important. Even the most-loved family pet can escape, and the return of the animal to his family is only possible if he is identifiable. Pet identification has evolved from the standard ID tag to the high tech computerized microchip. We will look at the common methods of pet identification in use today. The traditional method of identification is the collar and tag.
Tags come in all shapes and sizes, and can be personalized with owner and pet information.
The Pet-Scope tag I mentioned earlier is really a neat little device. At one end is a tiny plastic magnifying lens. The other end is a plastic insert that contains virtually a full page of information about the pet and owner. Holding the lens up to your eye enables you to see the entire page of information, similar to a hand held microfiche viewer. The Pet-Scope attaches to the collar similarly to a traditional tag, and that is its weakness.
