While it's nice to have lots of fun photos of our pets. It is important to take several clear color photos of your pet taken specifically for ID purposes. Taking photographs of your pet is one of the most important preventive steps a pet owner can take to prepare ahead in case there pet is ever lost. Most people who have pets consider them part of the family and therefore have photographs of them in their family album. While these may be helpful, too often they aren’t very clear, or were taken from a distance, or are outdated. Whether you do it yourself or have them done professionally, you need to have quality pictures taken. They will be crucial in a variety of recovery situations and are an important part of your pet records.
When it comes to recovering a lost pet, a picture truly does say a thousand words. Photographs will be useful, even critical, in a variety of situations.
A Picture Says A Thousand Words
1. Current photographs are indispensable for making flyers. An ideal flyer should include two photographs, one face shot and one full-body profile shot. We have a great Lost Pet Flyer Generator (http://www.lostpetfoundpet.com/Free%20Lost%20Pet%20Flyer%20.htm) on our web site.
2. Photos can be scanned and then uploaded and posted on-line at any of the numerous missing pet web sites.
3. Photos can be critical to rescue workers in the aftermath of a disaster.
4. If you ever have to go to court (people do steal pets), photographs are one more way of proving ownership.
5. Photos can be shown to shelter personnel to prove ownership and reclaim your pet. Shelter workers see dozens, even hundreds of pets a week; a photograph can make a real difference here.
6. Photos will be indispensable if you lose your pet while traveling or vacationing.
7. Photographs help you to recall important details about your pet that, in its absence; you may not be able to recall as clearly as you think.
Take the Memory Test
Do you think you can accurately describe the pet with whom you share your home and life? You’d be surprised.
As a family project, have everyone get a sheet of paper and a pencil. Put your pet in another room. Then have each person write a description of your pet from memory. Try to recall every detail, unique markings, eye color, hair length and texture, tail length and type, etc. You’ll be amazed at how much each person’s description differs from the others, and what details each person has left out. This fun family project will clearly demonstrate the need for accurate written and photographic records of your pet.
Please always keep current photos of your pet -- Just in case
Thanks
