Lost pet: prepare the essentials

When a pet goes missing, you need reliable information straight away. Animal Place helps keep photo, identification, contacts and useful details in one place to organise the search.

Prepare the record

Photo, identification, contacts: everything needed to act fast and reliably.

Note time & location

Last seen time + last known location: two key pieces of info to organise a search.

Alert

Reporting the disappearance helps organise information and alert the community.

Preparation

Prepare in advance

When a pet goes missing, you quickly lose time "finding the info". The goal is to keep the essentials ready, once and for all.

Identification

  • Recent, recognisable photo
  • Microchip / tattoo number
  • Characteristics (colour, distinguishing features)
  • Usual location (town / area)

Contacts

  • Up-to-date phone number
  • Person to notify
  • Regular vet
When it happens

Report the disappearance, then act

In the app, the report helps you structure the information (time, location) and raise the alert. Then you can focus on the search.

  1. 1

    Note when the pet was last seen (shortcut or exact time).

  2. 2

    Enter the last known location (or your current location if available).

  3. 3

    Confirm the report, then share the information with a clear photo.

Useful parallel actions

Without waiting, keep a simple list:

  • Notify family / neighbours / carers
  • Call local shelters/organisations (depending on species)
  • Contact your vet
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

To save precious minutes.

What are the 3 most important pieces of information?
A recent photo, the identification number (microchip/tattoo) and the last known location/time.
Why note the exact time?
Because it narrows the search area and helps prioritise actions (where to search, who to call, when to spread the word).
Does this replace an official report?
No. This page focuses on organisation. Also follow the official procedures in your country (identification, declarations).
