This ties them to you and makes sure they are unable to run away or be separated from you, therefore making it much more difficult for potential thieves to get hold of your animal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping your animal in your sight at all times also prevents theft, as having your pet in your view means you are able to keep an eye on your surroundings and anyone who is interacting with your pet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GPS tracking is also a great way to keep tabs on your pet and using a collar with a built-in tracking device means you are able to know the exact location of your pet as long as they have got the collar on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pets aren\u2019t

CCTV on your property means you can always have an extra eye out even when you aren\u2019t at home with your pet and also provides video footage of anyone who enters and leaves your property, so in the worst case scenario you have evidence to provide to the authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensuring your garden area is properly secured is also a great preventative measure, making sure your pet is unable to escape and keeping any unwanted visitors out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To register your dog with a
