It gives people passing a location the same identification and contact information. - The core information is a current photo, loss time and place, identifying features, and a monitored contact method. - Do not present one distribution radius, print count, reading time, or recovery rate as universal. - A contact is necessary, but a home address, vehicle number, and personal schedule are not. - Find-My-Pet's public /flyer page can create a printable or PDF flyer without sign-in or a missing post. --- A flyer is not a distance prediction. Its job is to **leave recognizable information for people passing that place**. In one [primary study of owners searching for lost dogs in an Ohio county](https://experts.arizona.edu/en/publications/search-and-identification-methods-that-owners-use-to-find-a-lost-/), animal-agency contact, identification, and neighborhood signs appeared as different recovery routes. It was a retrospective study in one US area, so it does not establish a universal flyer success rate or print count. ## Use a current photo and verifiable facts Choose a recent photo showing the face, body shape, and distinctive markings. Keep the text to: - loss time and exact place - species, breed, sex, and coat color - collar, clothing, or tag - distinctive markings - a monitored contact method Do not print a guessed direction or unverified sighting as fact. ## Set a contact-safety boundary Choose a phone number, separate contact number, or OpenChat link that someone will monitor. A home address, vehicle number, personal schedule, and identity documents do not belong on the flyer. A reward is optional. If you include one, write the conditions clearly and do not respond to demands for advance payment or account information. ## Build the print version and QR code [Open Find-My-Pet's public flyer maker](https://findmypet.platformholder.site/flyer?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=fmp-flyer-2026q3&utm_content=standalone-flyer) without an account or missing post. Add a photo, contact, place, and QR URL, choose from six paper sizes and six templates, and print or save a PDF. Use a QR code only for a public page with current information. Test it on another phone before printing. ## Place with permission and collect Shops, veterinary clinics, apartment buildings, and public boards have different posting rules. Ask the manager for permission and confirm the removal date. Use the last-seen point, real foot traffic, and new sightings instead of one fixed radius or count. The [five-step lost-pet response checklist](/en/blog/find-my-pet/lost-pet-5-step-guide) places flyers in the full response. The [first-hour coordination guide](/en/blog/find-my-pet/why-first-hour-matters) explains how to settle the source information first. After reunion or an information change, collect or replace the flyers under the permission you received. An outdated flyer can send new reports to the wrong place. --- *This article was drafted with AI assistance and fact-checked and edited by platformholder.* ## FAQ **Q.
