When pets go missing time is of the very essence, thats why we have Pet Detectives working on call 24/7 to help your beloved pet return home safely. The process begins almost immediately after placing your order (that is why we have such a high success rate) and takes up to 1 hour to fully alert the neighbors/businesess in your area.
Most Alert Service website are copy cats of the original Pet Amber Alert service. PetAmberAlert.com has been online since 2005. Over the years we have gone from simple online postings, to actively sending alerts via email and then via express mail. We have discovered that Fax and Phone Alerts offer the fastest response and highest success rate. Currently other websites offer services for higher prices because there primary motivation is to make money and not find pets. These services are not very effective because they send out fliers by mail. By the time the fliers are shipped and delivered the pet will have traveled so far that the posters just become a waste of time, resources and your money. PetAmberAlert Posters are sent via Fax. They are delivered and “Hung Up” on the bulletin board at your local vet within 1 hour after the alert goes out. You are able to verify that the alerts have been receieved the same day you place your order. Our service has the highest success rate due to our nationwide fax and phone alert system.
We hold certified seals from TRUSTe ®, VERISIGN ® and MCAFEE ®. Sealholders include the most trustworthy online businesses. However with all that put aside we have one of the highest sucess rates in the industry. We provide detailed listings of all parties that receive the PetAmberAlert. You may call and verify with them that the alerts have been received so you know exactly what you are paying for. We also have countless success stories daily and dozens of mainstream news media features which speak for themselves. If you are still unsure, you can give us a call and one of our on staff pet detectives will explain the whole process to you.

We will call a phone number up to 4-6 times within one hour, and if no one answers, we will leave a detailed voicemail message with your pet’s information.
Pets are driven by strong survival instincts and can survive a long time without access to food and water. Pet owners often give up looking for their pets due to what is known as grief avoidance. They can’t bear to think that their pet is out there hungry and on their own so they conclude that he is dead and try to move on. Try not to think like this. Remember your pet doesn’t think like a human, they aren’t thinking “I miss home” and having emotional feelings. It is likely that they are just trying to survive and are probably doing a good job of it.
