You've Lost Your Pet

Unfortunately our pets can't talk so they can't tell people where they live or even that they are lost. Losing a pet can be very upsetting. Just thinking about your pet being out all by itself, with no one to look after it, makes you feel very sad and worried.

There are lots of things that you can do to help find your pet.

How Can You Find It?

There are many different things you can do to help find a lost pet. The steps below will help you to find a lost pet. It is important to ask Mum and Dad to help.

Search your property

Sometimes they can hide because they are frightened or get stuck. Cats can even get stuck up trees. They also may be sick or injured. (If they are sick or injured don't touch, get a trusted adult to help)

You will need to look as well as call their name. They may not be able to come to you or let you know where they are.
Check their favorite spots
Check areas that they could be hiding or stuck
Check inside and outside the home
Check under the house
Check the garden shed
Check the trees and roof if it is a cat

Check the local area

Make sure you go with a trusted older person.
Your pet might be wandering with other animals or even be looking for you. It may also have been frightened away by loud noises or another animal.

Check your street
Check with the neighbors
Check the local streets
Check the way to school
Check the local shops
Check the local parks

Ring your local council and all neighbouring councils

If a pet has been found it could be being cared for at the pound or welfare shelter.

If your pet is wearing its registration tag the Council or welfare shelter will contact you to let you know that your pet has been found.

If your pet is not registered or is not wearing its tag they will be waiting for a call from you. It is a good idea to ring anyway just in case your pet has accidentally lost its tag.

What is the phone number of your local council?
Have your name, address and the pets registration number ready.
Has your pet been microchipped?

Ring your local vets

If a pet has been found injured someone may have taken it straight to the Vet to be cared for. Often you will also find posters about animals that have been found.

Many Vets also have scanners which can tell if your pet has been microchipped. What are the phone numbers of your local vets?

Contact local welfare shelters

There are many caring animal welfare organizations, which look after stray or injured pets. Someone may have handed your pet to them.

Many of these organizations also have scanners that can read microchips.

It is a good idea to visit as many shelters as you can during the first eight days.

Advertise with flyers and signs

Sometimes people will rescue pets from dangerous situations by looking after them and then try and find their owners. Others may have seen your pet while they were out walking or driving.

Put the posters in places where people visit such as local stores and notice boards. Photocopying and putting them in letterboxes is also helpful.

It is a good idea to take Mum and dad with you.
Include a good description and a photo if possible.
Tell when and where it was lost.
What name does it answer to?
Remember to collect them all when your pet has been found.
