Do you know how to help prevent your pet getting lost?
*One way is to always make sure there is no escape routes in your back yard – no gaps in fences, no way to get under the fence and all gates are secured. Here are some other ways to help prevent your pet getting lost…
*Microchip your pet – this is a simple procedure that can be done at your vet’s office; most shelters do this also before adopting. A chip can be helpful if their collar comes off
*Get a collar with tags that include your pets name and a contact number to reach you
*Teach your dog commands Come and Stay
*Pay attention to what’s going on when you’re out for a walk or in the dog park. Distractions can happen quickly and keeping their focus on you will lower the risk of them running off and even being abducted
