1) The most common scenario, while (believe it or not), is the cat getting trapped in a tree, on a rooftop, or somewhere else they do not feel safe escaping on their own. This is dangerous, especially in the summer months, because your cat needs water and food. If stranded waiting for help for too long, it can become a life-threatening emergency.
Vacations are one of the most common opportunities for a pet to become lost. Because you’re out of your pet’s familiar comfort zone, and are unlikely to know those around you, it may be even more difficult than usual to retrieve a pet that has gone missing during a family vacation.
Cover your tracks.
A dog can cover miles of territory before realizing that they’ve gotten lost. If you’ve discovered that your dog has gone missing, it’s absolutely imperative to start the search for your lost friend immediately.
Follow your nose.
Pet Theft often happens in broad daylight. It’s difficult for a passerby to determine that someone has taken a dog that belongs to someone else. If a dog seems reasonably well-behaved and is being treated properly, it’s unlikely that anyone will even take notice.
There are countless things that get better with age, and your furry feline companion is one of them. Here's 6 benefits of adopting an older cat:
1. Never forget that although kittens are cute and cuddly-- they are a never-ending bundle of energy.

Every year, millions of dogs and cats end up escaping from their loving homes, and are never able to be reunited with their owners. While some end up being taken in by a good Samaritan and raised in a new family, others meet a more unfortunate fate, being euthanized in overpopulated shelters, or being forced to survive harsh conditions out in the wild.
Now that you’ve made it through the winter you’ll be anxious to get outside with your pet and start your springtime activities. Everything from gardening to cleaning is on the list as you prepare to get out and about. Your pet will appreciate the nice weather too as he gets to spend more time outdoors. While you may enjoy welcoming this great weather don’t forget about the hazards to your pet that may come with it. A little foresight and prevention can go a long way in having an enjoyable spring.
Spring has Sprung
Okay, okay, so sometimes those pet ID tags can be a pain the neck. (Get it? Pain in neck?) So PetHub’s Rover Reporter, Penny, has some advice to help make "Tagging" your pet super-duper-easy-peasy.
1) Get rid of the jingle-jangle of multiple tags and clanking on the food bowl with a collar that has a tag built into it.
Even though pets have unique personalities, names, ages, and distinctive physical features that set them apart from other members of their breed, identifying similar looking animals can be a little tricky. Since your pet can’t show up at the DMV for their driver’s license or state-issued ID, you’ll have to go about doing a little bit of extra work to make certain they’re just as easy to identify as you are.
As every good parent knows, keeping your loved ones safe isn’t always easy. Being proactive is the most responsible thing a parent can do to keep their loved ones safe. In the event that your pet should accidentally wander off, get lost, or run away, one of the most important things you can do to protect their safety and wellbeing is to invest in the process of pet licensing.
Most often, a furry friend that’s run away from home or has gone missing hasn’t done so out of a genuine desire to abandon you, but because of an external situation. Many want the chance to temporarily exercise their natural hunting, running, or chasing instincts in a way that extends beyond the boundaries, and simply wander too far in the wrong direction. In some cases, however, a cat or dog can take off in search of safety if there is a perceived threat in your environment.
One of the challenges of being a pet parent to a loving feline is the need to frequently answer one important question: “Where is my cat?” If you have an indoor cat and access to windows and doors is pretty limited, you don’t need to stress too much over the cat’s sudden disappearance. Especially if they are of a temperamental nature, they’ll come out when they’re hungry, thirsty, or bored with playing the hiding game.
