Pet Safety 76226

1. Keep them cool

If your pet spends time outdoors, make sure they have a shady spot to rest

and plenty of water keep them hydrated. Never leave your pet in your car

unattended. Even on a mild 80 degree day the inside of your car can heat

up to nearly 100 in mere minutes.

2. Identification

Make sure your pet has proper ID in case they get lost. Better yet, have

them microchipped just in case they lose their tags. Argyle requires that pet

dogs 4 months of age or older be registered with the city. Bartonville

requires that dogs wear an identification tag that shows the owner’s name,

address, and phone number.

3. Keep pets on a leash

For the safety of your pet and others, keep your dog on a leash at all times

when walking, even if your city or town does not mandate it. Argyle’s city

ordinance states that dogs must be kept to their owner’s property, or on a

leash if off their owner’s property. In Argyle, cats are exempt.

Not only do vaccinations keep you and your family safe, they are required

by law in the state of Texas. Argyle, Northlake, and Bartonville follow state

regulations that all dogs and cats be current on their rabies vaccinations by

4 months of age and every year thereafter. Argyle requires that pets wear

their rabies tag.
