Tomorrow is #PetTheftAwarenessDay. It is estimated that nearly two million pets are stolen each year! The American Kennel Club has been tracking pet theft since 2007, noting a 31% increase over the past 10 years.
Here are some precautions that can be taken to prevent your pet from being stolen:
๐ Never leave your pet unattended for any length of time.
๐งก Do not tie your pet outside a restaurant or store while you are inside.
๐ Do not leave pets in a car, even for a few minutes.
๐ Keep your dog on a leash when walking.
๐งก Do not allow your cat to roam free. Indoor cats live longer, healthier lives.
๐ Do not tell strangers that your pet is worth big bucks.
๐ Be sure your pet is microchipped for identification.
