Animal Identification Tips

CATS & DOGSMake sure that your pet has an identification tag on their collar. Other forms of identification, such as microchips and tattoos, are available to you from your Veterinarian.

EQUINE Animals should have breakaway halters. Luggage tags or blank cattle ear tags can be braided into animal's manes or tails. Include your name, delivery address, phone number, and animal's names. Spray paint will also work on horses and other large animals without halters.

LIVESTOCK Keep records of ear tag ID numbers. Tattoos and brands can also be used, but records must be kept up to date. Spray paint will also work for ID purposes.
