Initial Home and Garden Search Checklist for lost pets
...You won't find your missing Saint Bernard in some of these smaller places, but they are handy if you're looking for little kittens and puppies who get into the craziest and smallest of places...

Once you've searched your home, garden and immediate neighbours thoroughly, please go back to base at Lost Pet Advice to check your strategy plan to find your lost pet. Your next step after this is to add a free lost pet ad to petsonthenet.co.nz and while you're there to quickly check our Found Pet ads too.
