Missing pooch tips: Good luck and don’t give up! Tips to locate your lost pet. Get busy with these tips. Acting quickly is best. Important - If pet went missing from home, do these tips at your home. If pet missing while away from home, return to the area pet was last seen. Then modify / use these tips at the site pet was last seen. Most important tips, in my opinion are: 1) make the scent trail as indicated further below; 2) give pooch an easy point of re-entry into pet’s home. 3) it’s preferably to leave open the door pooch commonly uses. 4) be sure to d some of the scent trail items on the floor/ground thru door’s opening. 5) Leave the re-entry point open thru the night and into the morning hours. Pets are most likely to return home between 1 am and 5 am. More tips: - Put pup’s bed outside on the porch near the front door (or where last seen) and place unwashed clothing and unwashed bed sheets in the yard. Place unwashed laundry high to catch the breeze and carry the scent of home - over porch railings and fences or bushes. You are creating a scent trail for pooch to follow home. - If possible and it’s safe to do so, leave the door open for pooch to walk back inside your home. If see that’s not a possible consider sleeping near the door so that you can better hear if pooch barks or scratches at the door to be let back inside. Pets are the most likely to return late at night when things are quiet, usually between 1-4 am. - Another good scent idea is to grill meat or chicken. Cook something on your outside grill that you can cook a long time, so the delicious scent will travel. If pet went missing away from home, bring a gas camp stove to grill / warm the meat. - Go door to door and tell your neighbors and nearby businesses that your pooch is missing, give them pup’s photo and your ph number. The more eyes on the lookout for your pup, the better. - Offer a reward if you are financially able to do so. Put up neon colored Lost signs in your yard and in the neighborhood. - Ask your neighbors to check in their sheds, garages and any vehicle or building that may have been open around the time pooch went missing. Pooch could’ve sought shelter there / hidden and then become trapped. - Also ask your neighbors if they have a ring doorbell or outside cameras. If so, they may have a photo or video of the furbaby which will tell you what direction pooch was going. - Be sure to talk in normal tones when walking the neighborhood, your dog may respond to your voice and come to you. No crying or yelling - If you have another dog or your dog has a dog friend, walk the doggie friend on leash, give them the scent of the missing dog, if possible, say the missing dogs name and go for a leash walk with the dog. The dog just may lead you to the missing dog or the missing dog may come out of hiding to greet their friend. My Yorkie, Tigerlily, was great at this. Extra tips: If it’s in your budget, hire a reputable, professional pet tracker while pet’s scent trail is still fresh. And consider using a pet finding drone service company / person to search a large area. Good luck and don’t give up! Let me know when you get your pet back.
