PETtalk: Navigating the Journey of Lost Pet Recovery
Event description
Around 10 million pets go missing every year. Many of those pets have the potential to make their way back home, but it’s important to take the proper steps in order to reunite with your furry family member. So, where do you start? What are the critical steps to take to help you find your beloved pet? This webinar will answer those questions and help prepare you for the unimaginable circumstance of your pet going missing.
Having a lost pet can happen to even the most well-trained and knowledgeable person. It is normal to think that it won’t ever happen to you, but unfortunately it can. When a pet goes missing, all logical thinking goes out the window and panic will typically set in. That’s why it is important to be prepared in case your pet becomes lost.
During this free webinar, Carol and Pattie of CT Dog Gone Recovery will touch on the most common ways they hear pets go missing, and how you can better keep your pets safe. They will also discuss what steps you should take if you find a pet without an owner, and the procedure to follow if you or someone you know loses a pet in order to increase your chances of being reunited.
