If your pet is lost or displaced, the ability to identify it could very well save its life. Whether through tags, collars or implanted microchips, it’s important that pet owners understand the importance of pet identification. Lost pets frequently wind up at animal shelters, where without the ability to identify a pet’s owner, euthanasia is real and sad possibility. Dr. Brian DiGangi of UF’s Shelter Medicine program discusses why pet identification is so important for the recovery of lost pets.
