Lost mode: a lost pet poster and page in a minute
Lost mode in PetGrid makes a lost pet poster and a public page with your pet's photo and your contact, free, in a minute, so you can spend the next hour searching.
You choose what it says, it never shows your address, and you turn it off the moment your pet is home.
How it works
How it works, step by step
Turn on lost mode
On your pet's page, turn on lost mode and give a phone number or email people can use.
Say what helps
Add a description, where they were last seen and whether they are microchipped.
Share and print
Share the page and print the poster; its QR code opens the page.
Welcome them home
When your pet is back, tap that they are home and the page goes away.
What you can do
What you can do with it
Turn on lost mode in a minute, with a phone number or an email for people to reach you.
Add a description, where your pet was last seen, and whether they are microchipped (never the number).
Get a public page with your pet's photo and your contact, ready to share.
Download a poster as a PDF, with a QR code to that page, ready to print.
Tap "home" when your pet is back, or turn the page off at any time.
With a PetGrid clinic, your clinic is told too.
Good to know
What it does not do (yet)
- There is no physical QR tag, and PetGrid does not alert the public or people nearby.
- In the free app, no clinic is told; with a PetGrid clinic, the clinic is.
- The page lasts 60 days unless you turn it off sooner.
Questions people ask
What should I do in the app if my pet is lost?
Turn on lost mode on your pet's page in the free PetGrid app, add a phone number or email, then share the page and print the poster. Read what to do if your pet is lost for the steps that help most.
What does the lost pet page show?
Your pet's photo, description, where they were last seen, whether they are microchipped, and how to reach you. Never your address and never your pet's records. The page is kept out of search engines.
How long does the lost pet page stay up?
Sixty days, unless you tap that your pet is home or turn it off sooner.
Does PetGrid alert people near me?
No. PetGrid does not send alerts to the public or to people nearby, and there is no physical tag. The page and poster are for you to share where it helps.
