Lost Cat: What to Do First
Search your home and the area close by, report your cat to the microchip registry, then tell local shelters, vets and neighbours. Keep a written record of who you called and where you looked.
Lost Dog: What to Do in the First Hour
Search your home and the spot where your dog got out, tell neighbors, call your microchip company, shelters and vets, and post a clear photo. Keep a log as you go.
Making a lost-pet poster in a minute
A good lost-pet poster has one recent photo, the pet's name, the microchip number, a single phone number and a QR code that calls or texts that number. In Paw Crew the lost-pet card is made on your iPhone in one tap, as a PDF or an image, and nothing is uploaded.
