Pet Safety Services From Our Tucson Veterinarian At Twin Peaks Veterinary Clinic
At Twin Peaks Veterinary Center, our Tucson veterinarian strongly believes in being prepared for the worst. For instance, while we certainly hope your pet will never go missing, we think it’s important for all pet owners to be aware of some important safety tips and preventative services that could help if this unthinkable situation were to occur.
Lost Pet Safety Tips and Preventative Measures
When it comes to lost pet safety tips, perhaps the best thing you can do as a pet owner now is to have your pet microchipped if you haven’t already. If your pet is already chipped, take a minute to make sure your pet’s chip is registered and that all information associated with it is up-to-date. You can do this by contacting your microchip company. Having your pet chipped with up-to-date information significantly increases the chances of being happily reunited with your pet if he or she goes missing.
If your pet goes missing, he or she could also be exposed to a number of dangerous viruses and illnesses in the wild. This is why it’s also important to ensure that your pet is up-to-date on all vaccinations. From rabies to bordetella and everything in between, vaccinations provide a much-needed line of defense and antibodies for your pet.
Should your pet go missing, be sure to post signs and flyers in your area and check local shelters in-person right away. If you have a cat, you might also consider placing his or her litter box outside of your home, as the scent may help a lost cat find its way back.
