How to Find a Lost Dog: What to Do WHEN (First 24 Hours & Beyond)

We've got the REAL data to prove what works.

If you're looking for a lost pet, the first few hours are critical. Your search should be organized and strategic to increase your chances of recovery. That's why we've put together this timeline of steps to follow when you've lost your pet.

To determine the best way to help reunite lost pets and people, we joined forces with the National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) and conducted a survey.

We gathered data about actual outcomes from fellow pet owners who had lost and found their pets, as well as people who work in the animal welfare industry, about the most effective strategies to search for dogs. Not only that but also WHEN to execute each strategy.
