Your dog depends on you to keep him safe. Part of this is to keep him from running away where he is put at risk of injury or disease. A household dog has no defense if he finds himself outside the yard and loose in the neighborhood and he might get lost. Dogs may also escape to search for a mate or he might be lonely and go off and play. Frequently check the perimeter of your property for any breaches. And don’t leave your dog alone in the yard for long periods of time. Take time every day to play with your dog and allow him to exercise. Walks throughout the neighborhood gives your dog time to explore in safety. Have your dog microchipped and make sure he wears a collar with an identification tag so he can be returned to you quickly if he should get loose. Learn more from your Veterinarian Coon Rapids MN.
