Identification

Pet identification can be the difference between forever lost, and being returned to a safe, loving home. Microchipping is the way to go for this. Some breeders chip automatically before you even receive your puppy, and some shelters do too. If not, you can get your pup chipped at your new vet's office. Proper identification helps prevent your dog from staying lost.
