A subject that is very close to our heart is the marking of your animals and their registration. Dogs and cats are chipped by the vet. The chip can be already set within just a few weeks after birth, because there is no impairment of the animal. However, the chip alone is not enough. The chip number must be now registered of course so that you can trace the chip and therefore the animal and above all, so that you can find it in an emergency.
For this, we use the services of TASSO for many years. TASSO is the largest registration center for pets and works with 32 other pet registration centers worldwide. An unimaginable network with over 7.7 million registered animals, which can also help you on your holiday abroad.
Please read here more about the work of TASSO and the background of its work:
“You can’t protect an animal from running away; however from not coming back.” (Philip McCreight, head of TASSO’s headquarters)
Only every second pet is registered and therefore protected in case of loss. And that, although all TASSO’s services are completely free of charge. All other missing animals can hardly or if bad comes to worse not at all be returned to their owner. They end up in animal shelters, where they sometimes for many days, weeks or even years spend their wretched existence. The cost for the accommodation of the unregistered found animals is extrapolated to 20 million Euros per year.
Registration at TASSO has a tradition of more than 30 years. What emerged as an idea, to put an end to the then prevailing animal theft, has become in the course of time the largest registration center for pets and therefore aid for animals in need.
A loud bang, a bitch in heat or just plain lack of orientation – an animal runs away quickly. And at some point there is always the first time. Without professional help, the finding of the animal is pure luck. And if you go about it the wrong way, you risk even getting tricked by fraudsters. In the worst case you will never see your animal again.
A central organization such as TASSO, which is accessible around the clock and has decades of experience, organizes the return arrangements free of charge and all under one roof.
Missing registration of pets costs EUR 20 million per year
More than 400,000 “stray” animals end up in animal shelters or are housed by private finders. Only every second pet is registered and therefore protected in case of loss. And that, although all TASSO’s services are completely free of charge. All other missing animals can hardly or if bad comes to worse not at all be returned to their owner. They end up in animal shelters, where they sometimes for many days, weeks or even years spend their wretched existence. The cost for the accommodation of the unregistered found animals is extrapolated to 20 million Euros per year.
Therefore, we recommend EVERY pet owner to chip his animal immediately and register it. There’s no better prevention than this. And the best part of it; the service is free and can be so useful in case of an emergency!
