As many as one out of three pets are lost or stolen at some point over the course of their lives. That\u2019s a pretty sobering statistic! While we hope all of our furry patients are safe and sound at home, this is one area where it definitely pays to take a few precautions. Read on as a vet lists some things you can do to keep your beloved pet from getting lost. <\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> Keep Kitty In <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> While Fluffy may love leaving dusty pawprints on your car or bringing you dead \u2018presents,\u2019 she\u2019s much safer staying inside. Keeping your feline buddy in won\u2019t only greatly reduce the chances of her getting lost: it also protects her from hazards like cars, weather, and other animals. <\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> Training Fido <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> Your canine companion should know basic obedience commands, such as Sit, Stay, Come, Heel, and Lay Down. This is very important, as that training can help keep Fido from running off if you drop his leash or if he slips out the door. <\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> Secure Yard <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> Does your dog have a yard to run and play in? That\u2019s great! However, Fido has quite a taste of adventure, and is not above sneaking out to go exploring. Make sure that your fencing is secure, and that your pup can\u2019t go over, under, or through it. We also recommend getting a self-latching gate. <\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> Leash <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> Always keep Fido leashed whenever you take him off your property, even if he is really well-trained. Better safe than sorry! <\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> Spay\/Neuter <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> If your pet isn\u2019t fixed, he or she may very well run away to go looking for love. Make that appointment today!&nbsp; <\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> <span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/p>\n<h2> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> Vigilance <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> Lost pet reports go up significantly around July 4th and New Years\u2019 Eve, when the noise of fireworks frightens many pets, causing them to flee in fear. Thunderstorms can also scare our furry pals. Be extra careful at these times! <\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> GPS Collars <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> This is a fairly new technology, and one we\u2019re thrilled to see. There are different types of these, so be sure to do some research before purchasing one. You\u2019ll want to look at reviews, of course, but it\u2019s also important to check subscription fees and perks. <\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"display: initial;\"> Do you want to learn more about microchipping?
