Hints to keep your pets home safe

•Keep your pets indoors. Indoor pets who are part of the family are less likely to get away.

•Keep your fence in good repair. Make sure your fence is tall enough for the breed & energy level of your pet. During installation have the fence company bury the fence 6 inches deep to prevent pets from digging under.

•Place locks on your fence gates. This can help prevent pets from theft or pranks.

•Your pets must wear ID tags. State statutes require rabies tags. Local ordinances require city registration tags. One major benefit of the city tag is that our staff is on seven days a week and can track you if your pet is found.

•Microchip your pet. Microchips are a great back-up, in case anyone removes your pet’s collar or the collar is lost. They can provide positive ID if ownership ever comes in question.

•Neuter your pets. Sterilized animals are less likely to have the urge to roam. Sterilized pets are also less likely to be stolen by thieves who want to use them for breeding or fighting.
