Tips to Prevent Lost Pets

Invisible Fence® Brand is so excited to kick off its fourth annual Shelter To Forever Home Donation Contest! In honor of Lost Pet Prevention Month, we're placing emphasis on reducing the number of missing pets and helping pets by keeping them in their forever homes. Please read these tips to prevent lost pets and learn how you can help animals in their forever homes!

Keep Your Pets Protected in Your Home

Have you ever had to hold your dog back to try to prevent them from running out the door? Or maybe you have an area in your home that you know is not safe for your pet.

With the drop of a disc, protect your pets from hurting themselves, getting near the front door, or damaging your home, while still enjoying the independence in your home. Simply place in it the areas where you want your pets out of or not near.

Shields® Plus Indoor Solution can be customized to each pet in your home, including cats (yes, cats), and is fully compatible with our patented Boundary Plus® Wired and exclusive Doorman™ Electronic Dog Door for a total home solution.

Give Your Pet Access to the House

There are many reasons pets run away from home, but one of the most common is if they get startled and are trying to find shelter. So in addition to avoiding leaving your pet outside alone for extended periods of time, especially during thunderstorms or fireworks, another key to preventing lost pets is to give them a way to retreat to somewhere safe - like back inside your home.

The Doorman™ Electronic Pet Door lets you program rules for your dog or cat to come and go as they please. Plus, it is equipped with advanced safety technology that locks automatically, so only your pet has access to the house.

Prevent Pets from Leaving Your Yard

The best way to prevent pets from leaving your yard is to give your pet a safe place to play in your yard. For example, if your pet is a roamer or likes to chase squirrels or cars, give them more freedom while setting boundaries with a wireless pet fence and proper training.
 
Our exclusive Boundary Plus^® containment system lets your dog or cat play right up to the edge of your property, without leaving the yard. Unlike other wireless dog fences, our perceived endless boundary prevents “break-outs” and doesn't give your pet mixed signals if they try to re-enter.

Microchip your Dog or Cat

If a collar slips off or you forget to put it back on, a microchip will allow your pet to be returned home. According to The Humane Society, this simple procedure can be done by a local shelter or veterinarian. Be sure to register with the microchip company and keep them updated if your phone number or address changes. Lost pet recovery tools are equally as important as prevention.

Keeping pets in their forever homes and safe with their owners is one of our top priorities. Since 1973, Invisible Fence^® Brand’s innovative solutions, industry-leading training, and expertise have given more than 3 million pets newfound independence and security - while also instilling confidence in their owners.
