Pet Search South East - Lost & Found Guide

I've Lost an Animal If you have lost a dog, please go to our special section on lost and found dogs. For all other animals, you can create free lost pet leaflets and posters with all the relevant information by clicking here. Post your leaflets through all your neighbours' letterboxes (at least 50 houses in each direction) so all of your immediate neighbours will be looking for your pet as soon as possible. Remember not everyone goes out to see posters so this ensures they will get to hear of your pet being missing as soon as possible. Also put up posters in all the nearby streets in case someone finds your pet and goes looking locally for any lost pet posters. If you would like us to put your poster on our Facebook group please share it by clicking on this link.
Next Steps

Call all of your local vets (click here for contact numbers). Remember as well that if your pet was found injured at night or over a weekend they may well have been taken to a 24 hour vet or a vet completely out of the local area. Call round as many as you can, especially the 24 hour vets.

If your pet is microchipped, call the relevant microchip company to report their loss and to check all your contact details are up to date. Failure to notify Petlog that your animal is missing could result in whoever finds your pet transferring keepership over to them instead.

Microchip Companies
Petlog	01296 737600
Identibase	01904 487600

Register for free with Scanner Angel and create an alert for any vet that scans your pet's chip that will tell them the animal has been reported missing.
Also email New Hope Animal Rescue by clicking here.
To put your mind at rest also get in touch with Veolia Environmental Services on 02035676955, 01268 557464 or 01268 523387 who collect and dispose of the remains of deceased animals reported to them locally.

Report on other sites. Please note some of these services may charge. Make sure to also check out their found sections as well.
