Home / Blog / Lost Pet Reports During Summer

Summer is one of the best times of year to spend time outdoors with your dog, but it’s also one of the busiest seasons for lost pet reports. Surprisingly, most dogs don’t escape because they’re trying to run away. They simply take advantage of opportunities that become more common during the summer months.

With school out, children are constantly coming and going, and doors don’t always get closed behind them. Backyard barbecues, graduation parties, and family gatherings bring guests who may not realize a dog is nearby when they open a gate. Contractors, landscapers, and other service providers can also create unexpected escape routes while working around your property.

Summer is also a time when dogs are naturally spending more time outside. A squirrel, rabbit, or passing dog can quickly tempt even a well behaved pet to wander beyond the yard.

At Hidden Pet Fence, summer is our busiest season because many families want extra peace of mind while enjoying the outdoors. A professionally installed pet containment system helps keep your dog safely within your yard, even when life gets busy and distractions happen.

Whether you’re hosting friends, tackling summer projects, or simply spending more time outside, taking a few extra precautions now can help ensure your dog stays safe all season long.

"My husband and I have been extremely pleased with Ralph and his staff at Hidden Pet Fence. Everyone has been exceptionally easy to work with, and when behavioral issues arose unrelated to the pet fence, Ralph helped to guide us to a trainer that can help us! We would recommend Hidden Pet Fence to anyone!"

"We loved working with this company. The fence they sold us in 1999 still works, and the 2 new puppies recently were trained to the system seamlessly, in just a week. The service Ralph gives is still wonderful even though he has grown so much since our original purchase. Great job."

"Ralph and Hidden Pet Fence have installed the there fence at two of my houses now. The price was very fair and the crew was professional. They even came back out the service my fence right away when I had a landscaping mishap! Jason"
