One in three pets will become lost in their lifetime.
If you have a pet, here are a few tips to keep them from getting lost.
Check the fencing in your yard to look for places your pet might use to get out. You can also keep an eye on your pet because they may lead you to their secret escape routes.
You can also train your pet so that they obey basic commands. This can also keep your pet enagaged and mentally stimulated.
Make sure your pet's collar or harness fits them well. This will keep them from being able to slip out of their leash. Also, keep your pet's ID or rabies tag on their collar. Animals that go missing while wearing a tag are more likely to be returned to their home.
Keep pets safe during events. From severe weather to back yard BBQs, these activities can lead to lost pets. Loud events like thunderstorms or the 4th of July can frighten pets. However, a big reason pets get lost is due to accidental behavior by house guests like leaving a door open or a gate unlatched.
A little prevention can help save you the heartbreak of losing a beloved pet.
