Make sure your pet can't get lost by:
- Teaching your pet a command such as 'Stop!'
- Enclosing your garden
- Not leaving your dog outside public places unattended
- Having your pet micro-chipped or buying them a collar and a disc with your contact details engraved on it
- Ensuring that you exercise your pet sufficiently to keep it from roaming
- If your pet runs away but is near enough to hear you, call them to you in a pleasant tone of voice. Do not shout - this may scare them away
- Keeping your dog on a leash in public places to prevent them wandering off
- Sterilised pets are less likely to wander away from home and get lost
- Have your pet tattooed - a simple procedure you can arrange with your vet
