How PawAlarm helps in Edinburgh
This circle is who sees the alert: people who live, walk and drive around the last-seen spot in Edinburgh — not your friends list. A neighbour two streets over, or someone passing through from the next town, is the person most likely to notice your dog.

Can I report a missing pet to the City of Edinburgh Council?
Yes. The council has an online Report your missing pet form so it can check whether it has found your pet. It removes dead cats, dogs, foxes and badgers from pavements, road edges and verges, but will not uplift or dispose of deceased domestic pets, which is the owner's responsibility.
