How To Approach A Stray Dog

 


At least once in your life, you may have encountered meeting a stray dog along the road. Most likely, you would hesitate as to what to do next, especially if you do not own a pet yourself, or if you are not familiar with the area where you saw the stray dog.

Here are some tips and steps that you can do in case you encounter a stray dog:

●Remain calm and speak in a low voice. 
●Slowly approach the dog if you sense that he is somehow friendly.
●Check if the dog has an ID or tag. Most pet owners put an ID or tag on their pet’s leash and if the dog has one, try to reach the person listed on the tag. 
●Take the dog to an animal shelter. This is recommended if the dog does not have an ID or tag for you to know who the owner is. Most animal shelters have a microchip scanner so they can scan the dog and see if they can track who his fur parent is.

Your nearest veterinarian Metairie, LA can enlighten you about important health issues that can affect pets.
