Protect Your Cat Or Dog With The National Pet Registry

By Louisa Purpura


Human beings take care of their domesticated animals, and that caring is returned through love and adoration. Because they don't have opposing thumbs, they're not able to help you work on the car, but pets make it up by offering unconditional love. When you sign them up with the national pet registry, you're responding to that love.

One of the scariest things to happen is when your beloved animal companion is lost. Yet with the proper registration and the microchip, finding it is much easier than it has ever been. If your cat disappears from the yard, or your dog became lost while trying to follow your car to work, anyone who finds it can easily identify it by the special tags. They can contact the registry with a simple phone call.

When a domestic animal is found by strangers, they can tell that it belongs to someone, somewhere. Even if it has lost the tag somehow, people can tell by the behaviors. They can bring it to a shelter, and the employees of the shelter know how to check for the microchip. They will get in touch with you via phone, email, or text. The microchip can be inserted by a veterinarian or a shelter, and its insertion is virtually painless.

Along with registering your favorite fuzzy one, it is also a good idea to keep track of pet medical records. That should be easy if you start with a kitten or a puppy. However, if you find the animal through a private party, request any existing records. Those who adopt from an agency will get that information without even asking.

Another way to show your love is to join an animal care club. You'll learn about all the latest animal-related information that's out there. Clubs also teach children about proper behaviors around the family pet, to ensure that everyone is kept safe and happy.

Keeping your pet comfortable and safe does not have to be difficult. Make sure that it has all the health care it needs, and that proper records are maintained. Then, be certain that if it ever disappears from the home or yard for any reason, it can be returned home.

Your fuzzy companion will never be more than a phone call away if you're signed up at the national pet registry. To learn more, check the internet, or ask friends who are involved in the program. The service is inexpensive and it's easy to join. Once you're all set, you can sit back and enjoy that unconditional love from your pet.
