Buy a new personal identification tag for your pet. This tag is imprinted with your address and phone number and allows someone to notify you should your pet become lost or injured. Tags are available at the Humane Society or at your local veterinary office or pet store. Repair that hole in your backyard fence or buy your dog a new run. When allowed to run free, many dogs are injured by cars, poisoned, or stolen.
Cats are really safest when indoors.
Cats that stay indoors can lead a perfectly happy, and much longer, life. Spay or neuter your pet. Most spayed or neutered pets roam less, are healthier and are easier to train.
