Here's How To Make Sure Your Dog Never Goes Missing

The number of missing pet posters can be incredibly alarming. What can you do to make sure your dog doesn’t join that number?

Train Your Dog

Having a solid, reliable recall no matter the circumstances can be a lifesaver for your dog. Other commands such as sit and stay are important too.

Keep An Eye On Them

No matter how much you trust your dog, you should always supervise them. You don’t wanna leave them alone, on the off-chance that they decide to go exploring.

Give Them An ID’d Collar

A collar with an ID tag makes it easy for any Good Samaritans to return your dog, should they ever be lost.

Microchip Your Dogs

On the off chance the ID tags go missing, a microchip can contain crucial information for any rescuer or vet – including your contact details.

Secure The House

Your dog can’t get lost if your yard is airtight. Make sure to check the fences and exits regularly – especially if your dog is a known escape artist.

Keep Them On A Leash

With a leash, the chances of your dog running away with no way to chase them back down goes down significantly. By having control over their movements, you can guarantee their safety.

Get Them Fixed

Dogs that are in heat or chasing after other dogs in heat are more inclined to escape with the fury of a thousand suns. Spaying or neutering them curbs that urge, and gives them no reason to wander around in search of beaus.
