Too many times we’ve driven by posters asking for help to find a lost pet. We hope for the pet’s safe return, but there’s not much more we can do. Or is there? With social media at our fingertips there’s actually a whole lot more we can do within a matter of seconds. For instance, take a picture of the “lost” flyer and post it on your social media page tagging the specific area where the pet was lost.

Make sure you join local pet rescue pages so you can share and receive updates and information. Text the picture to friends and encourage them to keep an eye out for the lost pet on their daily commute. Don’t forget to share the picture and information with your local vet Fayetteville NC.  These simple steps can mean big progress in the search for a lost pet. 

Dogs are very social creatures and can benefit from the companionship of another dog. However, it is important that you are very careful when choosing a new friend for your dog.

If you’re looking for a new dog because you have recently lost one of your fur babies, make sure that both your family and your existing dog have time to mourn. If your dogs spent many years together, the pup left behind may need weeks or even months to get back to feeling like his normal self.

When your family is ready, consider the kind of dog you want. Is your existing dog high-energy or does he prefer to lounge around on the couch? Try and choose a new dog with a similar personality.

Introduce the dogs and let them spend time together before adopting one. That way you can see if they will get along. If you need more advice, call your vet Fox Lake.
