I have a "Pet Alert" sticker to notify fire fighters that I do have pets within my home, but I am afraid they would have difficulty getting the three of them out in the event of a fire.
Normally, for anyone else, I'd suggest the best answer would be to install a pet door leading into the backyard- a safe exit for them. However, my golden jumps the privacy fence (despite numerous training sessions, electric wires, special collars, etc...) and cannot be outside unattended- he would be gone the moment he realized he had free reign of the indoors/outdoors. As you can see, a pet door is not the ideal answer for my situation.
Any suggestions from fellow animal owners? What makes you feel more comfortable leaving your pets inside your home while you're away? Do you just leave them outdoors while you're at work or away for the day?
