Is the lost pet poster generator free?

Yes. The PetGuides.au lost pet poster generator is free and runs entirely in your browser. We never see your photo or your contact details.

Where should I post lost pet posters in Australia?

Post to local council Facebook groups, suburb-specific lost-pet groups, your closest 3-5 vet clinics, the local council ranger, RSPCA, and any 24-hour vets within 10km. Print 20+ A4 posters and place them at parks, schools, and shopping strips within a 5km radius.

Should I include a reward on the poster?

A small reward ($50-$200) increases the response rate but is not required. Avoid stating a high cash amount publicly — say Reward Offered and discuss the amount privately.

What file format is the downloaded poster?

The generator outputs a high-resolution PNG sized for A4 print. You can also share it directly to social media without printing.

Does PetGuides.au store my pet's details?

No. The generator runs entirely in your browser. PetGuides.au never sees the photo, the pet details, or your contact information.

Once you've printed the poster, share the digital version on local social media + Lost Pets groups.

What to do after printing

Put the clearest photo and one phone number on the poster, then distribute it close to the last confirmed sighting first. Start with nearby vets, shelters, council noticeboards, dog parks, school fences and shopping strips. Keep the wording simple: pet name, species, colour, suburb, date, contact number and whether a reward is offered.

Also report the missing pet through local lost-pet groups and check microchip details with the relevant registry. If someone calls with a sighting, ask for the exact time, street and direction of travel before moving the search area.
