1. Contact the microchip company and report them missing
2. Inform all local vet surgeries and rescue centres

7. Place items of your clothing or bedding with your scent on in the area where your pet went missing.
8. Get in touch with local search or drone teams.
9. Some animals when they have been missing a few days their survival instincts start to kick in and they can become feral. Even though they hear their name being called they can go into hiding or even run as they are in panic mode which can be extremely frustrating for their families or professionals trying to find them. So time and patience is often needed. Sometimes the public think they are helping but it can actually make the problem worse, so always take the advice from rescue teams or drone teams.
