Summer fun sometimes means open doors, road trips, and new places — and that can spell danger for pets prone to wander.
Microchipping and ID tags are lifesavers. Make sure information is up-to-date before traveling. Keep leashes secure and carriers latched during transit, even for short drives.
At home, check fences and gates for weak spots, especially after storms. Frightened pets can surprise you with their determination to run.
If your pet does go missing, act quickly — contact local shelters, post photos online, and alert neighbors.
The team at The Hungry Puppy often helps connect lost-and-found pets in the Farmingdale community — because every reunion reminds us why awareness and preparation matter.
Safety begins with simple steps, but it ends with peace of mind.
