Aug 01 2015

Pet Medical Alert Tag Although Canada does not currently have a central registry that manages medical alert pet tags, you should still consider adding an alert tag to your pet’s collar if your dog or cat has medical issues.

In the United States there are several organizations that provide medical alert pet tags and keep a registry of these pets.

Herbs are a great addition to any garden because they add greenery and they smell wonderful.
