Reminder to Check and Update Your Pet's Microchip: A Simple Step to Ensure Their Safety
As pet parents, we know how much our furry friends mean to us. Whether it's their joyful bark, a comforting purr, or simply their presence in our lives, our pets become family. But as much as we cherish them, the unfortunate reality is that pets can sometimes go missing. According to the American Humane Society, about 10 million pets are lost every year in the U.S. alone. One of the best ways to ensure your pet’s safe return is by keeping their microchip information up-to-date.
Why You Should Consider Removing Your Dog’s Collar Before Putting Them in a Crate
While collars are essential for identification and walking, it's important to consider removing your dog's collar before placing them in a crate. Collars can pose choking hazards, cause injuries from friction, or lead to discomfort, especially during crate time. By removing the collar, you eliminate the risk of entanglement, reduce the chances of skin irritation, and promote a more comfortable, stress-free environment for your dog. Additionally, using a microchip or separate ID tags ensures your dog remains identifiable without the risks associated with wearing a collar in the crate. Prioritizing your dog’s safety and comfort is key to creating a secure and restful crate experience.
