It’s no secret that some pets tend to run away when you least expect them to. Either something spooked them or they decided to go on a exploring adventure without knowing how to come back. Either way, it’s as very stressful situation for the owner, to put it mildly.
In order to avoid such transgressions by your pet, you must keep an eye on them at all times. However, that’s next to impossible so there’s got be a better way to do it. Fortunately, there is a way and which strategy you opt for depends on your preferences. With that in mind, here’s how to keep an eye on your pet the right way.
Use a pet tracking device
Pet tracking devices are a great way to keep your pet safe and secure. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so you can find one that fits your pet’s needs. A good example is using pet GPS collars to track your pet’s location, allowing you to monitor their whereabouts at all times. That way, you’ll always be able to determine you’re pet’s whereabouts in case they slip away under your watchful gaze.
Keep your pet on a leash
Some pets have unique personalities that make them quite stubborn and oblivious to their owner’s commands. For example, Beagles and Jagdterriers are hunting dogs, meaning once they catch on to a specific scent, they can completely shut down the rest of their surroundings and follow the trail with great enthusiasm.
While you yell and scream for them to come back, they’ve already gained significant mileage. No matter the training, such dogs may simply wander away without giving it a second thought. In such cases, it’s better to trust the least than run after your dog across the entire neighborhood.
Indoor living for pets
Indoor living for pets is not such a bad idea at all, provided you want to ensure that your pet doesn’t get lost. Small toy dog breeds and cats are ideal for this kind of living. As long as you accommodate your home for your pet and shower them with love and affection, your pet won’t mind living indoors for the rest of their lives.
This is especially true for cats, who are quite suited for indoor living. Cats can be train and they can respond to commands but only when that suits them. Therefore, cats living both indoors and outdoors are known for wondering away for weeks at a time, especially if they are not neutered or spaded. That’s why a permanent indoor accommodation for your pet is worth considering.
