10 lost pet prevention tips for the Fourth of July


Extra security goes a long way – Check gates, doors, fences and other areas that a spooked dog (or cat) could escape to make sure that everything is secure.

Get your dog plenty of exercise before the party starts – Take your dog for a long walk or romp in the dog park before your company comes over or before your community fireworks are slated for the evening.

Keep a tight grip on your dog’s leash – This sounds like a no-brainer, but it's so easy to slip up.

Make sure your pet has updated tags and microchips.

Create a safe zone for your pet.

Check into other calming methods.

Should your dog get out, immediately contact the shelter or rescue.

Get the word out. Dogs do get out and get lost. Contact local police, shelters and rescues, local veterinarians and animal controls to let them know your pet is missing. 

Consider investing in a tracking device.

"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semihuman. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog." Edward Hoagland
"Thorns may hurt you, men desert you, sunlight turn to fog; but you're never friendless ever, if you have a dog."
