Losing your pet is a very traumatic experience. It's important to stay calm so that you can search for your pet and hopefully be reunited. There are a number of steps you should take as soon as your pet goes missing. If your pet is not immediately found, repeat these steps again.

Don't give up searching for you pet too early!

What to do:

Where to search Search around your home and neigbourhood, including asking your friends and neighbours if they've seen your pet.
