What to do in the first hours a pet goes missing

Most lost pets are found close to home and soon after they vanish, so acting fast makes a real difference. Search your immediate area calling their name in a calm voice, and bring something familiar — a favourite squeaky toy, or their food. Cats in particular often hide nearby rather than run, so check under cars, sheds and dense bushes. Then widen out: print a stack of these posters and put them where people pause — vet clinics, the entrances of parks, shops, and busy junctions near where your pet was last seen.

At the same time, work the phones and the web: call local vets and shelters, report the loss on neighbourhood and lost-pet groups on social media, and — crucially — contact your microchip company to flag your pet as missing and confirm your contact details are current. A clear photo and a big, readable phone number are the two things that get a poster noticed, which is exactly what this tool puts front and centre.

Tip: microchip your pet and keep the registry details up to date — it is the single most reliable way lost pets get home. A collar tag with your number helps even faster.
