Pet Industry Partners are Celebrating National Lost Pet Prevention Throughout July
PetHub started Lost Pet Prevention Month in 2014 to drive a deeper conversation around the many aspects of keeping pets safe at home with their families. Just 17.4% of lost dogs and 2.8% of lost cats in shelters are returned to their owners (Shelter Animals Count). Luckily, there are many strategies a pet parent can take to prevent their pet from getting lost and entering a shelter.
This year, PetHub along with other industry partners are working together to educate pet parents and promote best practices for lost pet prevention and recovery. Tune into social media channels, partner websites and this page for in-depth resources and tools for preventing a pet from going missing, as well as advice for getting them home quickly if they do go AWOL (Absent WithOut a Leash).
Back To The Basics
As many of us have seen, the current pandemic has revealed that some of the most basic fundamentals of lost pet prevention have been forgotten in the complacency of “normal” life. From collars and ID tags to why you should license your animal, we’re connecting you and other pet parents with industry experts, the hottest pet products, and other tips to help keep their pets safe at home.
