TIPS TO KEEP YOUR PETS OUT OF HARMS WAY
- Never let your pet outside without you holding one end of a leash with your pet secure in a harness on the other end, except in a fenced yard. This rule should be followed regardless of your pets level of training. A harness is a more secure option than a collar. Remember you can control your actions, but you can not control the actions of others that may harm your pet. Think about the cars speeding and dogs running loose.
- Always have your pets identification tags attached to their collar or harness
- Never let your cats run free. There are too many hazards they can not defend themselves against; e.g. raccoons , cars, coyotes and other cats to name just a few.
- If you have a puppy never leave them unattended except in their crate. They are too prone to eating things that would harm them. When you put your puppy in their crate always remove their collar first so their is no risk of entanglement. When you have your puppy out of the crate watch them carefully to make sure they do not eat things they shouldn’t. Provide them with appropriate size toys designed for them and made in the U.S.A. that they can not ingest.

We have always had indoor kitties. I work at a warehouse where there are ferral cats that people actually bring by and drop off. I don;t think it’s fair to the cats themselves. I know the owner of the building has expressed concern but never tries to stop these people that drop them off. I think he fears bad publicity or something. Anyways, We keep ours indoors where they are safe.
It is unfortunate that some folks do not value their pets as members of the family as you and I do.
