From mating instincts to hunting instincts to plain boredom - there are a whole bunch of reasons dogs away! (Yes, even the best-trained, best-behaved ones.) So here's a deep dive into some of the reasons why - and what you can do to prevent your buddy from getting lost. No matter if you’ve got an escape artist at home or a dog who rarely leaves your side – losing your buddy is a frightening experience. Even if we do everything to keep them happy, healthy and by our side, sometimes our dogs get distracted, confused, or scared, and that can make them run away. Just thinking about it is enough to give dog parents nightmares. A lost dog may get into trouble, or worse – never find their way home. Please rate, review and subscribe to this podcast.

Rainwater, untouched by chemicals like chlorine, exudes a fresh smell and taste that captivates our pets' senses. Unfortunately, letting your pup drink from a puddle could be a bad idea. Puddles can host a mixture of contaminates including chemicals, sharp objects and harmful bacteria Rather than letting your dog lap up stagnant water, take fresh water and a portable bowl on walks.

Critter Sitters and More, LLC is encouraging pet parents practice these Top 5 Holiday Pet Safety Tips, and to sign up for a Pet First Aid Class. According to the Pet Products Industry Association, Americans spent $103 billion on their pets last year and 85% of dog owners and 76% of cat owners think of their pets part of the family. Therefore, companion animals play a major role in our lives. That is why Jennifer Morrone trained with The Pet Safety Crusader™ (aka Denise Fleck) to teach these animal life-saving classes. “Only 1 out of 10 pet parents will be lucky enough NOT to have an injury or illness occur with their pet at some point in time, so knowing how to handle a choking incident, upset tummy, poisoning, seizures or other ailment even BEFORE veterinary care is available makes sense!” Fleck says. With Christmas upon us, the chances for ingestion of pet-UNfriendly foods and choking incidents, multiplies, so supervise, supervise, supervise throughout the celebration.

Dogs are sweet, loving, and therapeutic but, at the end of the day, they are animals — and they can bite. National Dog Bite Prevention Week, occurring every second week in April and backed by the American Veterinary Medical Association, aims to bring awareness to the fact that although dogs are part of the family and provide companionship and immense joy, they can bite as well. And when they bite, it’s painful and dangerous. An estimated 4.5 million people in the U.S., mostly children, are bitten by dogs annually and 20% of those require immediate medical attention. This week, let’s work towards creating awareness that prevention is certainly better than cure when it comes to life-threatening dog bites.
