Outside shelters
Never, never leave your pet chained outside! They can strangle or choke to death! They also have very limited movement.
If you leave your pet in an outside kennel, ask yourself these questions:
Is the kennel secure?
Is the run or kennel on high ground in case of flooding?
Does the animal have a sturdy shelter to get out of the elements?
Does the animal have access to fresh food and water?
Do you have a neighborhood plan which states that whoever gets back first, checks all the other neighbors pets? If not be the first to implement one.
Are there objects or edges exposed that can injure your pet or snag a collar and caused strangulation?
