These should include the following:
These should include the following:
GPS on your cell phone is great but a paper map will allow you to mark the areas you have searched. Using a Grid method is generally best for search.
A charger and/or extra batteries can be helpful.
For writing phone numbers or other information.
For putting up Flyers and Notices
Useful for fastening flyers where staples won’t do.
Even if the dog was wearing a collar he or she may have slipped it in their panic.
Cans of smelly food like tuna also works well.
You can also bring portable dog waterers but a bowl you can place on the ground for a lost dog to find.
Hopefully you won’t need it but it is best to have one on hand.
Glow sticks are also useful for night searches.
If you don’t have binoculars, a camera with a long range lens can also be useful to see distances.
Can be bought at Canadian Tire. Please Keep in mind some spooky dogs do not like the squawker.
