Dallas Animal Services Celebrates National Pet ID Week

Dallas - Dallas Animal Services (DAS) is celebrating National Pet ID Week April 17 through April23by unveiling anew ID tag machinedonated by Friends of Dallas Animal Services. Everypet adopted or fostered from DAS will go home with a complimentary custom ID tag.

During National Pet ID Week, DAS is encouraging pet owners to ensure their pet is wearing a collar with ID tags at all times. DAS also offers microchips, a permanent form of identification, for $10 by appointment at BeDallas90.org.

ID tags facilitatefaster reunions for lost pets,often without a need to bring the pet to the shelter. A microchip is a secondary form of identification for extra security and can help shelters reunite pets with their owners in case they end up at a shelter without an ID tag.

DAS sets up adopted pets for success by providing spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchip and microchip tag, collar, leash, a free wellness exam with VCA Animal Hospitals valid for 14 days after adoption, a free week of virtual 1-on-1 dog training with the Good Pup app, a coupon for Petco, and other giveaways.
