How not to lose a dog?

Dogs can run away during “heats”, as well as being frightened by sharp sounds (for example, New Year’s fireworks or firecrackers thrown under your feet). So how to prevent tragedy and not give the dog get lost?

Training

The first thing an owner should do to keep his dog safe is to train him to follow two commands without question – “stand” и “to me”. It is necessary to get the pet to execute commands under any circumstances, in any stressful situation. Even if the sky falls to the ground, your dog should run to you on the command “to me.” This will save her life, and you will save yourself from regrets and guilt.

Inventory

Be sure to check ammunitionBought for walking the dog. Please note that different leashes and collars are suitable for different breeds. For example, a bulldog with its massive head is unlikely to be able to wriggle out of a collar fastened around its neck, but a collie with a narrow muzzle will easily throw it off in a stressful situation. It should be borne in mind that a thin iron chain with a sharp jerk of a pet can burn your skin on your hands and you will let it out, and poor quality roulette – just break. For walks with a large dog, it is best to choose a wide canvas or leather leash and a collar (or a special noose for breeds with sharp muzzles). Yes, it may be ugly, but it is reliable. Carbine it is better to put a safety construction.

Address tags

If the dog is still lost, then it will help to find it address book. Usually the address tag is a pendant or a metal plate attached to the dog’s collar. The contact details of the owner are indicated on it by engraving, which will allow the finder of the dog to quickly contact its owner and return the animal. Do not neglect such a seemingly simple security measure for your pet.

Chip and brand

Pedigree dogs born in kennels, stigmatize before issuing documents confirming the origin – a puppy card, which then changes to a pedigree. You can brand outbred pets yourself. Brand – a tattoo that is placed in the ear or on the stomach of your pet and will prove that the dog belongs to you. The stigma is also entered into the database, which is maintained in organizations engaged in breeding dog breeding, and can facilitate the search if the pet is lost.

The same functions are performed by Chip. This is a small electronic device that is inserted under the dog’s skin at the withers and read by a special device available in veterinary clinics and customs. Each chip is entered into the database, from where you can find out the phone number, address and last name of the owners.

And the simplest thing is to write the owner’s phone number on the inside of the collar. It can serve as a temporary measure, since the numbers will be erased rather quickly.

Special search tools

The age of technology offered dog owners and Animal GPS tracker. Thanks to him, you do not have to wait for the person who found the dog to contact you, because he may decide to keep the animal for himself. You yourself will be able to track the location of the pet at any time thanks to the device attached to the dog and connected to your mobile phone.
