What do you do if you have lost your dog!

If you lose your dog or cat then please follow this useful guide. Reporting the the following within the first hour is vital to get your dog home 

I have listed in order of priority -

1) Register with us below

2) Notify your dogs chip company and request the dog be marked missing.

3) Contact the dog warden via your council.

4) If your dog has been stolen contact police on 101 and request a crime reference number. The police need someone to have witnessed the theft to Mark as stolen.

5) Contact all the local vets within a 5 mile radius and email them a poster.

7) Email or call local groomers, dogwalkers, pet services, dog related services and ask them to post the missingposter on their Facebook pages.
