Start quickly
The sooner nearby people receive an accurate photo and location, the sooner they can recognise and report the pet.
What to do when you find a dog
If you find a dog, the priority is safety and notifying the owner quickly. Kedvencem can match photos, open an NFC profile or help you find a nearby microchip reader.
The first hours matter.
Traditional searching and social posts still help, but information can quickly disappear from a feed. Fast, accurate and locally targeted details give a pet a better chance of getting home.
One post may not be enough
A single post is easy to miss. A search is stronger when consistent information appears across several channels.
Nearby people can see first
Kedvencem reaches people who are actually in the surrounding area, not only those currently browsing a social group.
How Kedvencem helps when you find a dog
Step-by-step guide to helping a found dog return home.
Keep yourself and the animal safe
If the animal is injured, frightened, aggressive or near traffic, contact an animal rescue organisation, veterinarian or local authority first.
Check the photo-based lost-pet list
Open the Kedvencem App and compare the animal with active lost-pet reports. You may be able to notify the owner immediately even without a tag.
Scan any NFC tag
If the animal wears a Kedvencem NFC tag, scan it with your phone. The public profile may provide a safe way to alert the owner.
Find a nearby microchip reader
Use the Kedvencem map to locate a veterinarian or other place where the microchip can be read.
Search using the microchip number
Once the chip is read, the number provides another route to identifying and contacting the registered owner.
How does the Kedvencem App help?
Kedvencem combines digital pet identification with community search tools. Profiles, alerts, maps and shareable reports work together.
Pet profile
Photos, identifying features, microchip number, health notes and owner contact details prepared in advance.
Community alerts
When Lost Mode is enabled, nearby users receive a push notification.
Map-based search
The report also appears on the map, helping people focus their search on the right area.
QR, NFC, chip
NFC tags and microchip numbers create additional routes back to the owner.
The community matters more than the tag.
Every new user improves the chance that a missing dog or cat is recognised and gets home. Create the profile while everything is still safe.
Frequently asked questions
What if the dog has no tag?
Check the Kedvencem photo-based lost-pet list and contact a nearby veterinarian or chip-reading location.
What if the dog wears an NFC tag?
Scan it with your phone. A Kedvencem public profile may let you alert the owner immediately.
How does the microchip help?
A veterinarian or reader can retrieve the chip number, which can be used to identify the registered owner.
Prepare before an emergency happens.
Create your pet profile, add clear photos and important details, then start Lost Mode with one tap if it is ever needed.
