Pam,
Great list of suggestions. I would add to take several photograps of the pet and put them with your vet and vaccination records. If the pet should get away you will have something to show people what you are looking for. Also, if you have a cell phone # on the pet ID tag, that is a quicker way than a micro-chip to get reunited at a campground.OR buy some pricing tags (on a string) from WalMart and write your campsite # on with a permanent marker and attach it to the collar.You can easily change this as you change campsites.
