Your Upper Arlington vet clinic knows that it can be difficult to think about your pet going missing, but having a game plan ahead of time is the best way to get your pet back.

Should the unthinkable happen, you will need to move quickly. The more time that passes, the farther your pet will be able to wander. Keep some updated photos of your pet in your wallet for just such an occasion, and alert neighbors, friends, and family to your predicament. Scope out favorite places your pet might be drawn to, and make a point to let local animal shelters and veterinary offices know your predicament. Check online forums where people may post information regarding pet’s they’ve found. If your pet is microchipped, let the manufacturer know that your pet has gone missing.
