What To Do If You Find a Lost Pet
If you ever find a lost pet, remember that most cats and dogs are microchipped. The fastest way to reunite them with their family is to take the pet to a nearby vet or shelter, where the chip can be scanned at no cost. Collars and tags help, but a microchip with current contact information provides the most reliable way home.
Why Every Pet Should Wear a Collar and Name Tag
A collar and name tag may seem like a small detail, but they are one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep pets safe. While microchips are important, a visible tag with a phone number allows for an immediate reunion if a pet slips out or gets lost. At Dogs On The Run, we encourage every pet parent to keep a tag on their pet at all times, especially when someone else is caring for them.

Trick-or-treaters continually knocking on the door or ringing the bell can be very stressful to both dogs and cats.”
