Any responsible pet owner wants to know that their little companions are safe even when they are outside in the garden.

General considerations for keeping pets safe outside

Make sure your lawn is pet-friendly and avoid insecticides and herbicides that may harm your pet. Nowadays, there are many other safe and efficient solutions you can use. Also remove poisonous plants from your garden.

Finally yet importantly, you must have a good fencing around your property, which doesn’t allow pets to escape so easily.

Also, make sure you do not have shrubs near the fence, which could make the escape easier for your pet, and also that the fence has a smooth surface, without sharp edges or fragments that could hurt the animal.
