Holiday Dog Safety
“We’re gonna rock this town
Rock it inside out!”
Tis the Season to enjoy!
Just a few safety tips for your furry family members to make it safe and stress free:
1. Be sure your dog has a buckle collar that can’s slip over his/her head.
2. Attach a good quality tag with your information (we like: http://www.boomerangtags.com/?gclid=CMPtoYLK9bMCFYp_QgodwEgAbQ)
3. Attach each tag separately, should one fall off. Ideally you should have a microchip tag, your personal information tag, and a rabies tag.
4. Snap collars always end up popping off.
5. It’s during the rush of the holidays animals tend to slip out of open gates and doors. Be extra viligilant about putting your dog in a separate room, kennel, or crate when you have house keepers, workmen, guests and deliveries. It only takes that one second for a dog to slip through a door, hop a gate, slide through legs and then they are out on the street.
6. Never remove the collar and tags to let your dogs neck “rest”, this is when an accident will surely occur. If you bathe your pup, be sure to put it on right after the bath. Better a damp collar then a lost dog with no ID.
