Lost your pet in Bengaluru? Here’s what to do — starting now.
Take a breath. Most pets are found close to home, and the first hour matters most. Work through these steps in order.
Step 01
First 10 minutes: search the immediate area
Pets usually hide close by. Check under parked vehicles, in stairwells, and in the corners of your compound. Bring their food. Call gently. Don’t chase — a frightened pet runs from running people.
Step 02
Report it
Report your missing pet — it takes about 60 seconds. This creates a shareable case page, and a Pawsofmind coordinator reviews it.
Step 03
Tell the right people
Message your apartment and street WhatsApp groups. Tell security guards, delivery workers, dog walkers, and nearby vets and pet shops. These are the people who move through the area every day — they notice a new animal.
Step 04
Share the case page
Share it with a clear recent photo, the exact last-seen location, and the time. One good photo does more than ten forwarded messages.
Step 05
If someone spots them
Ask them not to chase. A photo, the location, and the direction of movement help far more — they can report the sighting here.
Step 06
Keep searching at dawn and dusk
Lost pets move most when the streets are quiet. Early morning and late evening searches, with their food and a calm voice, work best.
Step 07
Be ready before it ever happens again
Register a free Digital Pet Passport so your pet’s photo and details are ready before an emergency — reporting takes seconds when everything is already in one place.
Every minute counts. Start now.
