Entry tags:

Tuesday

Finally got myself financially straightened out enough to take Foot in to get chipped (Ula came 'equipped' with one already). So, after Tuesday, Foot, between tags, collar and now chip, will be as ID-entifiable as I can possibly make her short of tattoing her personal information on her rump. :)

I will feel SO much better once I get this done.

So, I have a question for everyone. If you had a pet, and you got them chipped, would you still make them wear a collar and tags or not? I'd like to know reasoning too, if you don't mind.

Also, (like I need to say that with you guys, heh), keep it polite with each other if there's a disagreement. *HUGS*

Destro and Roadblock are chipped and have collars with tags on them still. Because most people that find cats don't think about chips, rather than just "oh, no collar... well, my kitty now."

The HomeAgain chip system comes with a little ID tag that you can put on a collar just in case, too, so that's what we've got in addition to their regular tags.

Yeah. Ula's rescue group and the vet they were taking her to uses the AVID chips/PETtrac services. I'm not sure if the vets I'm taking Foot to will be the same system or the Home Again one, but I guess I'll find out. :)
