One of the most heartbreaking things is when your dog or cat gets out of your house or your yard. You are worried about them; you are concerned that they might have been snatched by someone or even hit by a car. 

If it's a dog that's gotten out, one of the best options to choose is the Finding Rover app. This app is facial recognition for dogs, and it makes it so much easier to find dogs and get them reunited with their owners. It is a bit expensive but so worth it.

Now, this is something that you need to do before your pet gets out. But if they ever do get out, you can find them a lot more quickly. If your pet has been chipped, chances are that there is an app that goes with the microchip to help you to find them if they ever got lost. So, if your beloved pet has gotten microchipped, make sure you download the app that goes with it.

This way, if the unthinkable does happen, you can find them a lot more easily, if they're at the ASPCA or they're in someone else's house. Having that app on your phone can help you save time and find them quickly. 

Finally, if your beloved family member has gotten out, you want to make sure that you are posting their pictures anywhere you can. Facebook and Reddit are good places to start, along with providing your phone number and email address if anyone finds them. The sooner that you have their pictures up on the Internet, the better chances you have of getting your pet back safe and sound. 

These are just some of the ways that apps can help you with finding your pet again. As a pet owner, I know how scary it can be to lose a pet. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
