1. Return to the lost place

Don’t be anxious when you find your dog is lost, and don’t just move around to look for it. At this time, what the owner has to do is to stay where he is and call his dog. If the dog does not come back after a long time, it is truly lost.

2. Go to places where dogs like to go.

Dogs are very smart. If they get lost, they will find their own way home, or go to their favorite places to play. You must visit these places frequently to see if the dog has returned. Some owners walk around in circles outside, only to finally remember to look for the dog in a place where the dog often plays, and end up with a false alarm.

3. Post dog hunting tips

When a dog is lost, we must first try to search for it. If we cannot find it, we can post a dog-finding reminder in the place where it was lost. For paid dog hunting, you can also distribute leaflets near the lost dog. Be sure to describe the dog's characteristics clearly. If possible, you should choose colorful leaflets. If there is surveillance in the area, you can request the property to check and search for surveillance.

4. Go to a pet store or a dog lover to find it

After the dog is lost, it may be picked up by someone. Don’t worry. There are not many people who are inhumane and will hurt the dog. Most people adopt it with good intentions, and some people will give it away nearby. Dog owners can go to pet stores and ask. If it is a string dog, you can also go to the place where stray dogs are slaughtered or go to other animal institutions to search.
