What do pet detectives do?

Listen  

If a person goes missing, we call nine-one-one. But if your pet is lost, you might need the services of a pet detective – a person trained in how cats and dogs behave if they escape or run away.

For example, if a dog meanders out an open gate, pet detectives know the distance and direction he’ll travel will be different than if he were frightened into a blind panic. A detective could also offer insight into what an inside cat might do if she escapes to the wild outdoors. It’s unlikely that she’ll run far; instead fluffy is likely to hide out in a dark, protected area close to your home.

In addition to providing clues about where your pet has gone, pet detectives can offer advice on search methods, creating effective posters, and using humane traps.
