This is just a friendly PSA.

There are soooo many cats and dogs getting lost with no way to identify who they belong to. Collars with information tags are just an okay solution if they don't come off. Cat collars are made to break away if the animal gets caught up in a branch. Dog collars are too easy to remove if someone steals the dog.

Microchipping is a more permanent solution. It's minimally invasive. They can be found by any microchip reader. The cost can range from $50-$100 depending on who you go to. Sometimes the registration fee is included, but usually it's a separate one-time life-time fee through the microchipping company. And this is not just for cats and dogs. It can be used for ferrets, rabbits, chinchillas, birds, etc. My green-cheek conure is chipped. It costed $67 and some change plus $40 for the lifetime registration.

If cost is an issue, there are discount clinics available in some areas. Call the local rescues/shelters to find out if there are any in your area. I use Care Credit. It's a payment option that allows an interest-free payoff for 6 months when you qualify.

I love watching this girl. Autumn is a small, stout, and fluffy girl with a need for love mixed in with a little playtime. She's always greeting me as I come in the door. A little treasure.

PSA: We all know it's state law to vaccinate dogs against rabies, but did you know it's also state law for cats over 6 months old? Even indoor cats are required to be vaccinated. Just because your cat doesn't go outside doesn't mean the outside doesn't come in. Bats get inside homes all the time. They are a main carrier for this 100% fatal yet preventable disease.

While you're at it, it's highly suggested to get the other immunizations, as well. Feline leukemia is also a big one, especially if your cat has outdoor privileges that can place them in contact with an infected cat.

I don't generally do boarding, but how could I resist these two? I've had them here for almost a week and will have them until the end of August. Meet Wendy and Little John.

We see this a lot... pet parents searching for a pet sitter or dog walker, but the first comment is: "I'm looking for someone who doesn't charge an arm and a leg..."

When you consider the pet-care experience and specialized training professional pet sitters and dog walkers have and the customized care they provide, these pet-care professionals are worth FAR MORE than they charge.

Of course, you have to work within your budget, but lowest price does not mean the best option—and professional pet-care providers should be fairly compensated.

Remember, you get what you pay for—and your pets deserve quality care!

It's not an accidental litter when you intentionally choose not to spay/neuter. Just sayin'...
