PROTECT YOUR PET IN 30 MINUTES

With the numbers of stolen and missing dogs having risen to approx 250 a month the need to provide protection and security to protect our pets is more important than ever..

In the event a dog has neither and is subsequently found by the Police or the dog warden or handed in, proof of identification and ownership ( especially in a court of law ) becomes almost impossible. Quite often it maybe just a simple scar or chest blaze etc that makes the difference in reuniting the dog with it’s owner and saving it from rehoming or even put to sleep..

So, sit down one day with your pet and just spend half an hour going over him / her. Make a note of everything and anything that you notice.

Any marks, scars, hair regrowth from injury or surgery. Is the dog entire or been nuetured? If a bitch, are her teats slightly raised / easily felt or flat ? Are their any lumps and bumps ?

Take a look in their mouth, are there any blotchy marks on the gums, tongue or inside the mouth. How are the teeth? Are both top and bottom teeth straight or are some crooked or missing?

Check the paws and nails, are they all the same colour? Are all nails present? Are the dew claws present?

The coat, is your dog single or double coated? Is the coat all one colour or are there variations? Is there a blaze ( white hairs ) on the chest or white hairs between the pads? Is there an obvious ' mane '? Does the tail have any feathering?  How do they carry their tail ?

What colour are the eyes? If a yellow, is their prominent eye liner ( darkness / shading around the eyes ) What colour is the nose ?

Is you pet stocky or leggy? Is it from show or working stock? Does it have a ‘ classic square head or more snipy ? Does it have a limp or a perculiar or different gait?

Does you dog have an illness / disease ? What medication is required ? Are their any allergies ?
