Flyer Services

Getting information out to the public about your lost pet is critical. The public can provide valuable information about Direction of Travel or possibly even recover your lost pet. However, if the public does not have easy access to your lost pet information, a reunion becomes much more difficult. Flyers provide a means to alert the public and tell the public who to contact when they see or recover your pet.
 

A. Flyer Creation
Flyers with color are printed on standard letter sized (8.5 x 11) paper. Vital information about your lost pet, a picture, and contact information is included. With information from the pet owner, I can quickly create a flyer and have a copy ready for mass printing and distribution.

With this service, I will request a photo of your pet be sent via email to info@detectapetusa.com

Flyer Creation Services: $10 per occurrence

Delivery Options:

• Via email (at no additional charge)

• Direct delivery (subject to travel fee based on miles traveled)

B. Flyer Printing
Once a flyer is created, multiple copies are needed quickly for distribution. As an aid to the busy pet owner I can have copies printed and delivered to your location.

Flyer Printing Services: $50 cents per color copy

Delivery Options:

• Direct delivery (subject to travel fee based on miles traveled)

C. Flyer Distribution
Getting flyers out into the public involves time and legwork. I can assist the pet owner to distribute flyers in key areas where their lost pet is likely to be seen. The task of visiting neighbors, talking to pedestrians, and passing out flyers will help get the word out about your lost pet and improve your chances of recovery.

Poster Services

Posters constructed with eye-catching bright and vibrant colors, have the ability to grab the attention of hundreds of people passing by on a daily basis.

Surveillance Services

You’ve created a feeding station and are hopeful that your lost pet is eating the food, but how do you know for sure what animal, such as your pet, or other animals, such as resident wildlife, are capitalizing on your free food? Camera surveillance is the answer. Camera surveillance has incredible benefits. There is nothing better for building and advancing a recovery strategy than definitive photographic evidence.

A. Camera Rental (without Daily Assistance)

This service provides you with one or more cameras as you desire. I will deliver the camera(s) to your location, help you with feeding station setup, camera setup, and provide instructions on how you can review the photographs on your computer. To help save you money, this service is provided without my involvement in the day-to-day visits to the feeding station. You are responsible for the daily replenishment of food, for the review and assessment of the photos.

This is an on-site service subject to the following:

• A one-time setup fee: $30 per camera

B. Camera Rental (with Assistance)

This service provides you with all of the same features described above, with the addition of my on-site assistance to replenish the feeding station and to review the photos on a day-to-day basis.

This is an on-site service subject to the following:

• A one-time setup fee: $30 per camera

• A labor charge

• A travel fee based on miles traveled

Capture and Recovery Services

Capture and Recovery strategies are the cornerstone of my business.

This is where it all comes together!

Every bit of knowledge, every plan, and every task were all chosen and implemented to strategically progress forward in order to ultimately culminate in a successful capture and homecoming for your pet.

One method for Capture & Recovery involves the use of a humane live trap, which brings absolutely no harm to any animals. Trapping is a very successful technique for cats, and sometimes dogs. Typically, one or more traps are placed in key locations where the lost pet is most likely to be hiding or roaming.

Note: Not all animals will approach or fully enter a humane trap. For the more shy elusive pets, please see Specialized Capture Services described below.

A. Trap Rental (without Assistance)
With this service, I will provide the pet owner with one or more traps, as they desire, along with clear instructions for baiting, setting, and monitoring the trap. With this service, the pet owner assumes responsibility for the daily monitoring and setting of the trap.

Small Trap Rental: $15 per week

Large Trap Rental: $40 per week

This is an on-site service subject to the following:

• A labor charge

• A travel fee based on miles traveled

B. Trap Rental (with Assistance)
This option provides all the services that go along with the standard Trap Rental. However, the trap will be baited, set, and checked by me on an agreed upon schedule. This could be a benefit to the pet owner if they are unable to prepare or check the trap at the appropriate times of day due to other commitments or limitations.

Small Trap Rental: $15 per week

Large Trap Rental: $40 per week

This is an on-site service subject to the following:

• A labor charge

• A travel fee based on miles traveled

C. Monitoring Equipment Rental
Along with the Trap Rental service, the pet owner has the option of requesting monitoring equipment so that activity near the trap can be communicated back to the pet owner while they wait (patiently) in their home without having to go to the trap and possibly disturb an approaching pet.

Transmitter & Receiver: $25 per week

Each Additional Transmitter: $15 per week

Specialized Capture Services

Can’t catch your dog?

Is your dog refusing to let people approach?

Is your dog wary of a trap or reluctant to enter?

What can you do…You know chemical darting is risky, you know tranquilizers hidden in food are dangerous and problematic, you know nets are expensive and difficult to deploy, you know leg traps & snares are illegal. So the question remains, “How do you catch your dog, which you can see and feed but can’t quite reach out and touch?”

My Specialized Capture Service was designed precisely for this scenario involving the shy, skittish, wary, “trap smart” dog.

Based on your dogs behavior pattern, feeding routine, profile, and environmental factors, I can construct an Enclosure Capture System that dogs readily accept and demonstrate little to no skepticism with entering.

Rates are quoted per individual scenario. Please call to discuss your specific situation.
