Reuniting Lost Pets With
Their Owners
by:

Losing a family pet can be a traumatic
experience, especially on children who are
close to the lost pet. But, one in three pet
owners fail to take the steps needed to ensure
that this tragedy does not occur in their
home. These steps can be as simple as
providing a pet identification tag with
up-to-date contact information in the event
the family pet ever gets lost, so that the
finder of the pet will have a resource to
contact the pet owner.
Because a majority of pet owners fail to
take this step, their family pet usually ends
up in a shelter, or just released to wander
around. One of the biggest concerns for pet
owners on the upwardly mobile move is the cost
associated with constantly purchasing a pet
identification tag every time their contact
information changes. To alleviate this
situation , a company called
RecoveryPets.Com provides a pet tag with a
unique tracking number that links to their
website, where the owners contact information
can be updated for the life of the pet.
This company provides an easy access search
for lost pets, and all the finder has to do is
enter the unique tracking number and the
owners contact information will instantly be
displayed. One of the best benefits of this
service is that it provides a one-stop
convenient source for those who find a pet,
and those that have a lost their pet. This is
accomplished by the Global Pet Listing
Service, that provides a photo and description
of lost pets with contact information that can
be broadcast across the internet. This service
is accessible by all agencies that regularly
deal with lost pets, and it provides them with
a way to identify the owners if they have not
registered with the Pet Tracking Service.
Tracking systems for animals is nothing
new, but the majority of these systems require
invasive devices implanted into the animal,
and a lot of pet owners opt not to have this
procedure done because of the risk involved,
not to mention the cost of such a procedure.
Another type of tracking is pet tattooing, but
if the pet is lost, trying to find a tattoo
that they do not know exist defeats the
purpose. The pet identification tag can be
worn on the collar of most domestic pets, and
it is readily identified by the majority of
people who find lost pets, and it does not
require any type of invasive procedures to be
performed on the pet.
Finding an affordable way to recover lost
pets is the wish of every pet owner if their
pet should ever become lost, but an ounce of
prevention as the saying goes can save the
owner from the traumatic experiences that are
associated with losing the family pet. With
today’s fast pace movements and population
explosion , we do not have a chance to get to
know our neighbors the way we used to, so
having a means of identifying a lost pet that
is affordable and recognizable can reduce the
stresses associated with owning a pet who is a
member of the family.
