Lost or Found a Pet?

Alert Petlog

If your microchipped pet has gone missing, inform Petlog as soon as possible.

Log-in to access your Petlog homepage and register your pet as missing.

Once your missing pet has been linked to your online account and you have completed the missing pet report, Petlog will automatically send out a Lost Pet Alert to authorised agents within an approximate 30 mile radius of where your pet went missing within the UK. If your pet has gone missing from outside the UK, Petlog are the only UK member of the European Pet Network, so we can still be contacted if your pet is found.

The pet's details can also be posted on the Lost Pet List on the website, and you will be able to create a Lost Pet Poster from your account.
