If You Love Your Pet - Register It!!

The most important thing to do after you get your pooch (or kitty) is to take them to the vat for checkup, get the vaccinations and talk to them about implanting chip with your address and other necessary information about your dog. Don't forget to register the pet with the authority and get the tag to be attached to the collar.
It all sounds like to much effort but ....read what happened to dog owner in NY.
They had their pooch for 7 years. One day the cute tiny dog was playing in the yard, the other minute he was gone. They looked for him all over the neighborhood, hanged flayers with his picture, promises $100 reward for the one who'll bring the dog home. Nothing.
After a while they find out that their dog was found and was taken to a shelter, the law says in NY that the shelter needs to wait 5 days before giving the stray dog for adoption. they did wait 7 days and then a new family adopted him.
Now the first owner can do nothing. Because there was no identification of any kind on the dog, he was treated as a stray dog.
Can you imagine the heartbreak it caused????
You maybe saying your dog is at home all day, he never runs away, or my cat is indoor cat. Well, so was this dog for seven years, and then in one second they lost him for good.
It only takes a vat visit to keep your pet with you .........and think about it.
