Happy April and yay for warmer weather!
April 23 is Lost Dog Awareness Day. We don’t like to think we can lose track of our furry friends, but one in three pets ends up missing at some point in their lives – and only 21% end up going home. YIKES! In addition to microchipping your dog and fitting him properly to a tagged collar, we have a great article with quick steps you can follow to find your lost dog.
