No one ever wants to lose their pet, but if you find yourself in a situation there are some things you can do to increase your chances of success and re-uniting with your family bullmastiff.
First, before this situation ever has a chance to occur, look to get a pet ID tag. These should be available and any major chain of pet stores. This ID tag should include your pet's name, and your phone number so anyone who finds your lost bullmastiff can contact you. This is good not only for close to home, but is an absolute necessity if you do a lot of traveling.
Basset hounds have incredibly long ears. In fact, the dog with the largest ears in the world is a Basset Hound. His name is Mr. Jeffries. The dog's ears are 11.5 inches long, and are insured.
Second, always have a color photo of your bullmastiff. This will help to run off fliers, and also gives much more detail than black and white. Without a picture, you are far less likely to get any response.
When your pet is lost, ask your neighbors and friends, people who may know what your bullmastiff looks like and can tell you the last time they saw him. Don't do this until you've already looked around to see if he has just curled up somewhere, or ran off to a favorite wandering spot.
Chow Chows have very unusual mouths. When they are born they look normal enough. However, by the age of about 8 weeks, their gums and tongues go from pink to an odd shade of bluish-black.
Also, report your lost pet to any local animal shelter or vet, and make sure to give them a color photo and description in case someone else finds your pet and they end up there. These two areas are the most likely places where a lost pet will be taken, so it's critical to get this information so they can contact you if your beloved bullmastiff shows up.
