Lost your Pet?

What You Can Do

Losing your pet is overwhelming, here's what to do step-by-step;

 

  1. Contact your pet's microchip database and report them missing.
     

  2. Check the local area (smaller animals such as cats and rabbits can take shelter or unknowingly be locked in sheds, garages and other small spaces).
     

  3. Contact veterinary surgeries,  local animal rescue centres and other animal charities.
     

  4. Report your pet as missing on Animal Search UK.
     

  5. Check social media for reports of locally found pets.
     

  6. For a lost dog contact your local dog warden.

    Information about your local authority's dog warden service can be found via these links:

  7. Contact the Police if you believe your pet has been stolen.
