You might think a collar is unnecessary if your pet is always indoors. But here’s why most veterinarians disagree.
First, indoor pets can escape. Some pet parents get hung up on the possibility that their pets might possibly could get hung up on their collars. But in most cases, the pros outweigh the cons.
And microchips don’t take the place of collars. Microchips must be read at a veterinary clinic, but anyone can read a collar ID right then and there.
Finally, animals with collars are perceived as being members of a family and are more likely to be approached than their collarless brethren.
There might be health reasons not to use a collar on your particular pet, but in general, a collar ID just might save your buddy’s life.
