Protect Your Pet from Summer Fun
Salt Lake County Animal Services
More pets go missing in the summer months than at any other time of year. Make sure they always have on a collar with an ID tag with up-to-date info, and take note of which events could increase the probability of your dog getting out.

If guests are going to be coming in and out of the front door or back gate, keep your pets in a secure area or put them in their crates. An unsecured gate or open door is the perfect opportunity for your pet to take themselves on an adventure without you. Keep in mind that many human foods, beverages, and seasonings are extremely toxic to dogs, so make sure to keep the tempting treats out of your dog’s reach.
According to the ASPCA, 1 in 5 pets goes missing after being scared by loud noises. Be sure to bring your pet indoors and keep them away from open windows when summer storms roll into your area. It can also be helpful to give them their favorite toy or an easily digested chew to help them alleviate stress from anxiety-causing noises.
The loud noise of firework displays, big or small, are scary and disorienting to pets. Leave them at home and inside with a loud fan or calming music. If the fireworks display is in your driveway, be sure to clean up the leftover firework debris. Never underestimate what your dog may stick in its mouth.
All pets in Salt Lake County can receive a free microchip at Salt Lake County Animal Services, pet licensing may be required depending on your city. Email animal@slco.org or come to Animal Services at 511 W 3900 S, Tue – Fri, 10-6 to get your pet microchipped. Contact your local animal control!
The first-place pet owners look for a lost pet is the local shelter.
