lost pet prevention

An important aspect of returning loss pets home quickly is understanding their motivations and perceptions so that you can best predict where your furry little friend has wandered off to, and why they might have got lost in the first place.

A few months after everything went into lockdown, we slowly realized that working remotely would be our new normal. Team PetHub decided to take a vote on whether or not we should go back to the office or fully go remote - I think you can guess which one won.

Vacations are a time to relax, unwind and switch off — but for many pet parents, trying to find reliable and safe pet care you can trust can be stressful! So with summer just around the corner, we’re sniffing out some of the top ways you can keep your pets safe this Lost Pet Prevention Month.

Most of us have seen a movie where there is a “dog catcher” and they are usually not portrayed as very nice characters. Over the years this has created a stereotype for Animal Control Officers (ACO’s) which has also caused a sense of distrust for some community members.

Cats are curious creatures and always on the lookout for a new adventure, but that daredevil spirit often leads them straight to trouble. Unfortunately, it’s not rare that cats go missing after venturing out, but there are ways to prevent your pet from getting lost and make sure that even if something happens, they’ll be returned to you safe and sound.

The summer marks a three month window where homegrown fireworks displays could happen at any moment. While an annoyance for some, the loud noises can be terrifying for pets, triggering their fight or flight response. That, combined with warmer weather, open windows, and visitors who don’t always fully shut doors upon their arrival, could lead to a pet finding their way outside of the safety of your home.

Traveling with your pets is a great way to make memories together. But having your pets off their normal routine and in unfamiliar environments means more things can go wrong and pets can get lost. Those are not the kind of memories you want to make! So follow these tips to help keep your pets from getting lost while you travel.

Lost Pet Prevention Month was started back in 2014 with the same goal in mind as we have today - to educate pet parents on lost pet prevention & recovery. This year will be filled with Facebook Lives, articles, giveaways AND MORE!

We are so excited to be celebrating "Every Day Is Tag Day"! Tags are SO important to ensuring that your pet's are safe at all times. In honor of this special day we are offering BOGO on our PetHub ID Tag's! 

Here at PetHub, we compare pet identification to a four-legged stool. Like a sturdy stool, your pet’s identification should make you feel secure and comfortable. Your pet's identification should consist of external identification, a registered microchip, license and registration, and the extras for added security.
