When a pet dog gets lost, owners often exhaust all means to search for their missing friend. Searching for a lost dog will entail time and will often be difficult and frustrating.

Here are ways to help make the search easier and more efficient:

Always keep contact information updated

Collars and identification tags should contain updated contact information. A dog’s collar should have a current rabies tag, pet license tag, and your current phone number. Being up-to-date with this important information will greatly increase your chances of being reunited with your canine buddy.

Take pictures of your dogs

Pictures of your dog will prove useful in case your buddy goes missing. Take photos that show off your dog entirely, making him easily distinguishable on a flier.

Microchip Implants

Microchip implants are often considered the most reliable form of pet identification. Collars and ID tags can easily come loose, so your dog needs to have a permanent identification.
