Some of the problems that cause pet theft in the case of dogs is that the owners don't take enough care with respect to their dog's security. Owners leave their dogs tied up loosely outside shops and the advice from experts is that by doing this you are making your pet easy prey for a criminal.

Pedigree pets in particular are targets. So are dogs owned by celebrities. A criminal might not steal the pet because it is high quality, but so they can make a ransom demand for the animal to be returned.

Along with taking out insurance, there's also other things you can do to guard against your dog's safety. This includes making sure that your dog wears a collar and identification tag with your contact details displayed on it. Dogs can also be micro-chipped or tattooed so they can always be identified. The Kennel Club Pet Reunification Service offers this service.

Keep all of your dog's documentation in a safe place. Also keep a photo of your dog from the side so it can be easily identified. But more importantly, don't let your dog out of your site by not tying it up and leaving it. Keep the animal secure in your back garden where it can be seen. Don't walk your dog without a leash, leave it inside or lock it in a car all alone.

If in the unlucky instance your dog does get stolen, report it to the police. Then contact the local dog warden. If your dog is micro-chipped, contact petlog or visit the organisation's lost and found data base - www.doglost.co.uk
