July is Lost Pet Prevention Month, and we at NHV do not want our pet parents to experience the stress and sadness of losing a pet, so we have a few tips to help prevent pet loss. Nobody expects to lose a pet, but unfortunately, it happens much more frequently than people realize. It is reported that 1 in every 3 pets will be lost at some point during their lifetime, but only 10% of those without proper identification or microchips will be reunited with their families. Make sure you do not lose a furry member of your family by following the below pet loss prevention tips.
Please do not leave your pet tied up in a public area where they are at risk of being stolen.
Ensure that they are secured at all times. If they roam in the yard, make sure that there is a proper fence that is high enough and does not have any escape holes. If you have a small dog breed, rabbit, or any other small pet that you let roam free outdoors for any period of time, keep an eye out for predators. It is beyond your control when a large bird, coyote, or even someone else’s pet can come along. When out walking or playing, keep your pet on a leash. Please do not leave your pet tied up in a public area where they are at risk of being stolen.
Be alert and know your pet’s whereabouts. No matter how much your pet loves you, they may try anything to see what’s on the outside and escape out the door while you are bringing in the groceries or bolt out of the yard when someone opens the gate.
Be aware of upcoming events. Loud noises such as thunder and fireworks can scare pets. Even smaller noises that seem harmless can be frightening to a pet (think motorcycles, construction equipment, vehicles backfiring, sirens, loud parties). Even if your pet was not bothered by a noise in the past, there is a chance it may bother them in the future.
Ensure that your pet can be properly identified at all times. A collar and up-to-date tags works but can be easily removed, so you may wish to consider something a bit more permanent, like microchips or tattoos. You can also get GPS trackers for your pets that pinpoint your pets’ location, so you know the moment they leave your property – allowing you to act quickly before they get into too much trouble.
Have a recent picture of your pet. If your pet goes missing, a recent photo will be helpful in your search.
Unsure what to do if your pet goes missing?
Contact your local pound and animal rescue shelters to alert them and provide a description and contact information.
Put up posters in the area including a recent photo and description along with contact information if found.
Use the power of social media! Share a picture of your pet, the area that it was lost, and get your friends to share it out.
What to do if you find a lost or stray pet
Never assume that an unidentifiable animal that you come across is a stray. This could be someone’s pet and may have lost its collar or escaped. By keeping an animal that you assume is a stray, you may be withholding them from being reunited with their family.
Do not approach an animal that is aggressive or defensive. Instead, contact your local animal control or rescue and notify them.
If a friendly animal approaches you with no apparent owners, check for tags or identification. If ID is found, contact the owners. If no identification is found, you can take them to a local shelter to see if they have been reported missing or if they have any other identification methods. Once it has been determined that this animal does not belong to anyone, you may choose to make it an addition to your family.
These are just a few tips to help prevent the loss of your pet, as summer can often be a busy time of year with many outdoor events and excitement. If you are aware of an upcoming event that may cause your pet anxiety or stress (thunderstorm, fireworks, construction), you may wish to consider giving them NHV Matricalm for cats or Lesstress for dogsa few days in advance to help calm their nerves and lessen their likelihood of running away.
Help reduce aggressive behavior and provide anxiety and stress relief for your cat with Matricalm, a natural herbal product designed to help reduce excitability in your pet. Cats can become anxious or aggressive when exposed to other animals or to people they are unfamiliar with. When this occurs they may hiss, scratch, howl, or urinate inappropriately.
It’s important to remember that a significant cause of illness in pets results from stress. Helping to keep your cat stress free can help keep them healthier for longer. NHV Pet Experts also often recommend Matricalm for cats dealing with FIV, cancer, kidney issues, hyperthyroidism, and more.
Chamomile – Contains sedative properties. Chamomile also helps the immune system and has a strong affinity for the nervous system.
Passion Flower – An effective, non-addictive sedative. It helps increase gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which helps cause a feeling of relaxation. Passion Flower also has strong anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.
Lemon Balm – An aromatic herb used for nervous disorders, excitability, and anxiety. In addition, lemon balm helps lower blood pressure.
Valerian – Helps stop heart palpitations, relaxes spasms, relieves pain, and regulates the nervous system. Valerian also helps improve sleep latency and sleep quality.

TARGET SPRAY
Safely rid your pet of insects and their eggs. Target Spray helps your pet rid itself of fleas, ticks, lice, and mosquitoes. Its soothing herbal formulation keeps insects away and calms skin irritated by the inevitable scratching bugs cause. Fleas are tiny, wingless insects that feed on your pet’s body by sucking blood. They can transmit disease, cause skin allergies, anemia, and generally irritate your pet. Many pets are allergic to flea saliva, which causes them to lick, chew, scratch, and rub the irritated area. This can often result in hair loss and secondary infections.
HEAL CARE OINTMENT
Many pets are busy animals prone to paw or skin injuries including bruising, sprains, cuts, wounds, burns and infections. Signs of injury are easy to spot and include obvious discomfort, limping, red and swollen pads, and a general reluctance to walk or run. Heal Care Ointment is a topical ointment designed to soothe and heal injured paws and skin.

Beneficial for stress, anxiety and other nervous system issues
May be used for both situational stress and chronic stress
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
Working dogs that are pushed too hard
Flying on a plane
Special events (eg. fireworks)
Staying in a shelter
The loss of an owner
The loss or addition of a furry playmate
Going to a new home
Moving
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.
