Found A Lost Pet?

What to Do If You Find a Lost Pet

Finding a wandering or lost pet can be a stressful experience for both you and the animal. Whether you are out for a walk or just in your neighborhood, knowing how to safely help a stray pet is an incredibly valuable skill.

1. Assess the Situation (The "SAS" Rule)

Before you rush over to grab a loose dog or cat, remember to prioritize safety. Use the "SAS" approach:

• Secure: Make sure the pet is out of immediate danger, like busy traffic, before approaching.
• Approach calmly: Speak softly and avoid sudden movements so you don't spook them into running further away.
• Scan for a tag: Once the pet is calm, check their collar. If they have a Smart Pet Tag, simply scan it with your phone's camera.

2. Access Critical Information

When a pet is lost, time is of the essence. You need to know who to call and if the pet has any specific medical conditions, severe allergies, or behavioral needs.

Traditionally, this meant a stressful trip to the vet to check for a microchip. That is exactly why we created the Smart Pet Tag, which acts as an instant bridge between the finder and the pet's family.

3. The Power of Instant Connection

By having your pet's complete profile linked to a Smart Pet Tag, you ensure that anyone who finds them can instantly access your phone number, view their vet details, and get them home safely without delay.
