Lost Your Pet ? SURE This Will Help

Did you know there are an estimated 80 million dogs in the US and 4 million are lost each year? A pet has always been our family member. I know how you feel if you have lost your pet as I have been in your position before. Last 3 months back I lost my precious Coco. As I never lost a pet before I didn't know what should I do. I do not want you to be that person like me. I did some research to find some solution for you. I really hope that will be helpful.

Let's begin with why might your pet get lost?

1. Dogs that have been chased by people “searching” will remain in hiding more.
2. Temperature extremes (hot and cold) will keep your dog in hiding for long periods of time until the weather breaks.
3. Chased by another dog/ cat
4. They might get out sometimes without any reason.

Now let's find out what should you do if your pets have gone missing. I will discuss point by point that which are so effective. So, let's get started

Distribute flyers:
This ensures that your flyer will actually get into the house and you have an opportunity to speak with the homeowner so they can see and feel your distress. It's a very effective and proven method. If you don't know how to make one flyer. There are plenty of websites to make a free flyer.
