Searching for a missing pet in Dunedin
Dunedin's hill suburbs and student flats mean plenty of open basements and unlocked sheds — ask neighbours to check under the house.
Start within 100 metres of where your pet was last seen, then widen out. Ask neighbours to physically open sheds, garages and under-house spaces — that single request finds more cats than any other step.

Ring nearby vet clinics, your local council animal control or ranger service, and the closest shelter. Update your microchip registry with a current mobile number — a chip with stale details is the most common reason a found pet in Otago doesn't get home.
