PROPER IDENTIFICATION

Dogs and cats should wear a collar and harness, rabies tag, and identification tag at all times. Identification tags should include your name, address and phone number and also the phone number of an emergency contact. Dogs should also wear a license. [Contact Puppy Paradise].

Talk to your vet, call 311 [or whatever the information number is in your location] about micro-chipping your pet[s]. A properly registered microchip enables positive identification if you and your pet are separated.[Get this done at our NYC Proguard/Puppy Paradise Location].
