Lost Pets [1]

For people who have lost a pet, the main question asked is often “where can I go to see if my pet has been found?” or “who do I contact when I’ve lost a pet?”. The answer to these questions differs depending on your location. There are a number of great resources across Alberta to assist you when searching for your lost pet, as well as information on what to do if you find a pet you believe has been lost. 

The importance of proper identification for your pets [2] needs to be stressed. Traditional tags are a great option, but microchips can also help increase the chances of you and your lost pet being reunited.
