Veterinarians and Pet Hospitals

One of the single most important choices when you get a dog or cat is the veterinarian you trust them to. You can use the links on our Veterinarians page to get you started in your search. Also, make sure to keep information about an emergency vet available at all times. Take in to account location, price, reputation, and specialties.

Tagging and Micro-chipping Your Animal

At Pet Search Party, our primary mission is to get your pets back home.  Tagging or micro-chipping your dog or cat is one of the best ways to ensure that happens.  Make sure you put a current tag on your pet's collar.  If you micro-chip and your pet is returned to a vet or shelter, they can simply scan your dog or cat to find your information.  If you keep your information current in regards to the tag or chip, you'll have your family member back in no time.  It's a simple, non-invasive procedure that your pet will not notice. We've done a little research on the new breed of tags - check out what we found.

Do You Need Pet Insurance?

Everyone needs to take a close look at how they want to care for their pet.  If you feel you're going to have frequent trips to the vet, then you should definitely look at pet insurance.  Visit our pet insurance page to see how to get a free rate quote.

Dog and Cat Food Recalls

We’ve all heard of the rash of pet food recalls in the last few years.  We're going to list the ones we find out about on our site to help you keep in the know.  If you hear of one and it’s not listed on our site – let us know!

Traveling with Pets

Your pets can get very stressed out when they travel.  The least we can do is provide them with safe and sound traveling along with pet-friendly accommodations when they arrive.  Check out our partners to see the best way to find both.
