JULY IS NATIONAL LOST PET PREVENTION MONTH
Each year, approximately 10 million pets go missing in the United States, according to the American Humane Association. Sadly, many never make it back home. The good news is that with a few proactive steps, pet owners can significantly reduce the risk and increase the chances of a safe return.
Prevention starts at home. Ensure your pet always wears a collar with an up-to-date ID tag. Microchipping is also highly effective- just make sure the registration is current. Secure fences, locked gates, and supervised outdoor time can prevent accidental escapes.
Recovery depends on quick action. If your pet goes missing, alert local shelters, vets, and animal control immediately. Post on social media, neighborhood apps, and lost pet websites. Flyers with a clear photo and contact info can help reach more people.
Keeping recent photos of your pet, noting unique features, and training them to come when called can make a difference in emergencies.
With preparation and prompt action, lost pets have a much better chance of reuniting with their families. Prevention is key, but knowing what to do if your pet goes missing is just as important.
