[net.pets] "Tagging" your pet on vacation

amyola@homxa.UUCP (A.CASADEVALL) (07/10/85)

Here's a reminder for all of you who will be taking your
pet on vacation this summer:
	
	TAG YOUR PET WITH YOUR SUMMER ADDRESS!

I'll be taking my dog to Cape Cod next week and I realized that her
NJ tags are not going to help if she gets lost up there.  I'm planning on
taping a label with our temporary address  to the back of her rabies tag.
If you normally vacation in the same place, i.e. a summer house,
by all means order an id tag for your pet -
I can imagine that it would be very difficult to track down the owner
when the tag is out-of-state.

Hope this suggestion helps.

Good idea to have the summer address tag on your pet (especially if it also
has a phone number) but also you should leave the out-of-state tag on the
pet too (it should also have a phone number, with area code).  Suppose you
lose the pet while on vacation and fail to find it before you must return
home?  This way if the pet was later found it could be traced to its owner.

Be Kind to Animals.

I can imagine the tag now:

	HELLO.  I AM A CAT.  MY NAME IS FIDO.
	IF FOUND, DROP IN ANY MAIL BOX.
	RETURN POSTAGE GUARANTEED.
