Responsible Pet Parenthood: Avoid Losing Your Furball Friends

Pet parenting is not always an easy task. In fact, even the most caring and diligent pet parents still have lapses in their responsibility. While there is no way to completely protect a pet from going off somewhere, there are ways to lessen the possibility of something grave happening to them.
Here are some things to remember when it comes to keeping your pets safe.
Tips for Ensuring Pet Safety

Don’t allow animals to roam freely. If you wish to do so, make sure that the area is fenced in solidly, with sturdy locks. Check the fences regularly to make sure that there are no spaces for dogs or cats to squeeze through. Remember that dogs tend to dig into the ground, while cats are capable of squeezing through very small spaces.
Do not allow your pets to be in dangerous areas without their leashes. Never take your pets out without their leash, you never know when they might find a random squirrel to chase. If you do wish for your pets to be less constrained, you may want to take them to pet-friendly parks and beaches where they are allowed to run freely in wide-enough spaces without fear of having them run over by a car.
Use the right kind of leash. Speaking of leashes, one size does not fit all. In fact, make sure that you have the right kind of leash for your pets when taking them on walks. For instance, make sure that the collars fit them — loose collars make it easy for the animals to escape, and tight ones could choke them. Bigger animals also need sturdier leashes. Your Pomeranian’s flimsy one certainly can’t contain an energetic German shepherd.
Make sure that your pet trackers are in working order. Collars and microchips are great for identification purposes, but remember that chips only work if they are registered, so don’t skip the registration process, even though they tend to get expensive. For pet real-time pet tracking, you may also want to invest in a good GPS tracker. Modern technology has made GPS tracking more compact and lightweight so that they won’t bother your beloved furballs too much when attached to their collars.

It is essential that you train your pets. Pets too can get rebellious at some point, but training them properly will make them less of a headache when in public places. Even basic training, such as teaching them when to “come” or “stay,” can go a long way. However, as far as training goes, your pet should also know that removing their collars or going past their safe zones is considered bad behavior. This will lessen their tendency to wander.
Be level-headed in case you lose your pets. An agitated pet owner is an easy target for scammers, so take a deep breath and go over the motions when you find your pets missing. GPS trackers are very handy in these situations because their real-time tracking technology could show you where they are at all times and even alert you as soon as they exit their safe zones. In the absence of a GPS tracker, however, there are several things you can do to find your best furball friends, like notifying your neighbors, distributing fliers and posters, and getting the attention of local veterinary clinics and animal shelters, among others.
No matter how you choose to raise your pets, remember that getting one is a big responsibility, so make sure that before you adopt an animal, you are ready for a big change in your lifestyle. Pets, like children, need a lot of care and affection, and animals like cats and dogs deserve a lot of love from their pet parents too.
