As a pet owner, you know that your pet is just like one of the family. And as with any member of the family, your number one priority is to keep them safe. But outdoor pets can face a certain amount of risk- from vehicles, from other people, even from other animals! So how can you go about minimizing the danger that your outdoor pet might encounter? Hercules Fence has the answers you’re looking for.
Keeping your Pet Safe with a Fence
A fence is one of the best ways to keep your pet safe when they are outdoors and out of your immediate supervision. While electrical or invisible fences can be expensive and can shock your pet unnecessarily, a wooden, aluminum, or chain link fence does just as good of a job at providing protection at comparatively less cost. Plus, these kinds of fences can add to your property value and curb appeal, all while serving a practical purpose as well!
There are a few things you should ensure when installing a fence to keep your pet safe. For one thing, make sure that the fence is too high for your pet to jump; some larger dogs, for instance, can jump a lower fence, and if they see a squirrel to chase on the other side of that fence, it would be hard to stop them! A higher fence will prevent this from happening. You also want to make sure that your professional fencing contractors know how to properly set the base of your fence. If the individual posts are not set deep enough and cemented, your pet your potentially dig their way out under the fence. You should also make sure that the individual posts are set close together rather than far apart, otherwise your furry friend might be able to slip between them!
