Pet Safety Recommendations

Best practices to keep your furry friends safe, and how PetFindr helps you in this important mission.

General Pet Safety Tips

Proactive steps every pet owner should take.

Proper Identification is Key

Ensure your pet always wears a collar with an ID tag that includes your phone number. A PetFindr QR code tag provides an additional, modern layer of contact information.

Microchip Your Pet

A microchip is a permanent form of identification. Register the microchip with your current contact information and keep it updated if you move.

Secure Your Home and Yard

Regularly check fences, gates, windows, and doors for any escape routes. Ensure your pet has a safe and secure environment.

Training and Socialization

Teach your pet basic commands like 'come', 'stay', and 'leave it'. Proper socialization can make them less likely to run off if scared.

Be Cautious in New Environments

When in unfamiliar places, keep your pet leashed or closely supervised. New sights, sounds, and smells can be overwhelming and cause them to bolt.

Keep Your PetFindr Profile Updated

Ensure your pet's photo is current and clear. Regularly check that your contact details selected for the PetFindr tag are accurate.

Attach the QR Code Securely

Make sure the PetFindr QR code tag is durable and securely fastened to your pet's collar. Check it periodically for wear and tear.

Enable Notifications

Ensure your notification email is correct. If you use Telegram, link your chat ID to receive instant alerts if someone scans your pet's QR code.
