We've either experienced this moment ourselves or know someone who has - that gut-wrenching moment when you think your family pet has gone missing. Luckily, more often than not, your pet turns up pretty fast, whether they’ve discovered a fantastic hiding place behind the sofa or have gone for a wander down the road, but for some families a pet can go missing for weeks and even forever. When you have a young family this loss can hit them especially hard, and they might not be able to comprehend or deal with the possibility that they may never see their best friend again.Locating your pet can be a costly and time-consuming experience and can put strain on even the most secure relationships. Minimising the risk of this happening is simpler than you may think, and by making sure your dog or cat is collared and tagged, they can be returned to you much sooner. If not, your pet may be mistaken for a stray and it will be a much longer process to reunite you. Here are some simple measures you can take to make sure your pet is returned home safe and sound.
It's difficult to know where your pet is at all times, especially if you have a cat that roams free both day and night. Dogs can easily escape from a garden that may seem secure by squeezing through a gap in the fence or through a gate which has been accidentally left open. Be sure to check on your pet every so often to ensure their safety and security. Walkies! If you have a dog, be sure to walk them around the local area so they become familiar with the route back to your house should they become lost. This may seem like a simple idea, but many families choose to drive to popular walking locations so the dog doesn’t often get to experience the local neighbourhood. When in an unfamiliar location be wary of allowing your dog off the lead, especially if it is a built-up and potentially dangerous area.
