How to Schedule On-Site Services
- Submit a Lost Pet Form. If you have questions prior to purchasing on-site services, please note this on the form and you will be contacted.
- An estimate will be emailed to you along with available dates/times for on-site assistance.
- Once on-site service is scheduled, you will be sent an invoice for an On-Site Reservation. The remainder of service fees (if any) will be due after the on-site search or equipment rental. Cancellation policies are at the end of the Services Agreement.
- If a consultation has not already been provided, you will be asked to complete a Lost Pet Questionnaire and to return it along with copies of any posters or flyers that you are currently using.
If you start with a Lost Pet Consultation, you can later choose to upgrade to On-Site Services, the consultation fee will be deducted from the On-Site Consultation fee*. A consultation, whether on-site or by phone, is required for all on-site services including equipment rentals.
*An On-Site Reservation must be made within one week of purchase of the lost pet consultation to receive the deduction. Deduction is up to the cost of a Basic Lost Pet Consultation.
