By harnessing the Pangel innovative pet safety app, with its user-friendly safety features, retailers have the opportunity to elevate their business while ensuring that pets and their owners are set up for safety success from day one.
Pangel™ is here to support pet retailers in their most important endeavor: sending precious pets off to their forever homes.
Let's explore the importance of pet safety and how retailers can actively contribute to creating a safer environment for our furry friends.
Spreading Pet Safety Awareness for Owners
Safety is our specialty at Pangel™, and we exist to give owners a smart solution for guaranteeing their pet has a guardian at all times. Using our pet safety app is an excellent step toward providing the most secure environment possible for pets.
However, there are many areas that pet owners must consider, and as a pet retailer, you've got a platform to share what's best for pets.
We encourage you to inform your pet owners of these important safety steps:
Avoid Accidents at Home
A common safety issue involves household accidents. Pets can easily get injured by sharp objects, tangled cords, or toxic substances. For instance, cleaning products and certain plants can be harmful or even fatal if ingested. Pet-proofing the home by securing hazardous items and creating a safe space for pets is crucial.
Be on the Lookout for Outdoor Hazards
When pets are outdoors, they face numerous dangers. These include traffic, wildlife encounters, and environmental hazards such as extreme weather conditions. Unsupervised pets may wander into dangerous situations, risking accidents or injuries. Leashing pets during walks and providing a secure yard can help mitigate these risks.
Minimize Health Risks
Pet safety certainly pertains to their health! Diseases transmitted by parasites, such as ticks and fleas, can pose serious health threats. Regular vet check-ups, vaccinations, and preventative treatments are necessary for keeping pets healthy and safe from unwanted infections and poor health.
Stay Food Safe
The rise of pet food recalls in recent years has made food safety a significant concern for pet owners. (1) Contaminated food can lead to poisoning and severe health issues. Being informed about safe pet food practices and staying updated on recalls can protect pets from potential dangers.
Prevent Theft and Lost Pets
Pet theft and lost animals are unfortunate circumstances surrounding pet ownership. Pets are sometimes stolen for breeding or resale, and many pets wander off or escape their outdoor enclosures. Microchipping pets and keeping identification tags current can help reunite lost pets with their owners.
Addressing Bad Behavior
An often overlooked aspect of pet safety is dealing with behavioral problems. Aggression or anxiety can lead to dangerous situations for both the pet and others. Training and socializing pets from an early age can help reduce the risk of behavioral issues. (2)
Prioritize Emergency Preparedness
Many pet owners may not consider emergency plans for their pets in case of natural disasters or emergencies. Having a plan that includes evacuation procedures and supplies for pets is essential. It's also important to consider unforeseen circumstances. When accidents, health emergencies, or other extenuating circumstances arise, it's necessary to have a plan for pet care.
Here's where Pangel™ can contribute to a pet owner's plan.
