What to do if you lose your pet:

- Bring a powerful flashlight (even during daylight hours) for checking in dark spaces.
- Place strong-scented articles (your scent or the animal’s, like your shirt or their bed) outside your home to attract your pet. Animals find their way by scent as well as sound.
- Call Microchip Company if your pet has implant and have them send notice to shelters and veterinarians offices.
