Complete waste of time and money

Complete waste of time and money. The QR code on the poster doesn’t work (lost 2 days trying to get it fixed) and the sponsored social media reach doesn’t seem effective. Better off with Pawboost or doing your own social media posts to lost animal pages. Very disappointing.

Hello dear Gina,

Thank you for your feedback.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how stressful and time-sensitive it is when a pet is missing. Situations like these are incredibly difficult, and we truly empathize with what you’ve been going through.

Regarding the QR code: we investigated this thoroughly and tested it multiple times on our side, where it correctly opened your pet’s page. We also provided troubleshooting steps and asked for additional details so we could identify what might be happening on your device, but unfortunately did not receive that information to investigate further...

We genuinely tried to assist and resolve the issue as quickly as possible, and we’re sorry this did not meet your expectations.

My Cat Returned After a Week - Keep Looking

I don't know if the campaign helped find my cat Maggie. I enlisted PetRadar's social media campaign on the 7th day she'd been missing. The posts had over 3000 local views. It's possible a neighbour saw my post asking people to check their locked sheds and let her out, as she turned up in our next-door neighbour's yard the following morning on the 8th day. I've read people complain about the cost of PetRadar's social media campaigns; from experience, I understand that they're expensive to run due to Facebook and IG advertising costs. I wanted many locals to see my post, and I was prepared to pay for it. I already made my own flyers, and letterbox dropped 200 of them. However, I did get many handy tips from PetRadar's website over the past 7 days, which I utilised. I was about to put PetRadar posters in public places and felt better knowing I could use the QR code to help protect my privacy and help avoid scammers. Last night, I read many reviews from people who got their cat back after a week; they gave me hope. Today, I was preparing to door-knock neighbours to ask them to make sure Maggie wasn't locked in a shed. It was PetRadar who gave me the confidence to do so. I believe PetRadar's free and paid services are worth 5 stars. Maggie came back after 7 days and 10 hours. If you read this, don't give up.

Urgently need to contact

Update in response to reply-You have not responded, despite the 6 unanswered emails. I was unable to edit my post and was forced to close it and repay. You absolutely do not offer 24/7 support. I am hugely disappointed with your response. Your service of paying for ads is good but the lack of service is really bad and people should be aware of this when they use the service.

Update-They still haven't got back to me. I ended up paying twice, so will have to raise a visa dispute with my bank.

I like this company, but I desperatly need to update the listing and can't get through to anyone! Its only been a few hours, but its urgent, so thought i would try on here

Hello,

We do respond to every single request and we offer support 24/7, so no message is ever ignored. Sometimes there can be a short delay of a few hours, but we absolutely never leave pet parents without help.

We take feedback seriously, but we also want to clarify that we have no unanswered emails or support requests on our end. Every single message we receive is responded to, including outside regular business hours.

Of course, Trustpilot isn't the right place to resolve urgent account or payment matters. If you haven’t seen a reply from us, please check your spam/junk folder, as our emails sometimes land there.🙏

Warm regards,

Hi Shelley,

That is definitely frustrating and not how it is supposed to go! We're sorry the website didn't work for you.

Could you please send us an email on info@petradar.org describing the issues?

More information about what specifically went wrong would help to resolve it for you if your pet is still missing, or for others in the same situation!

Thank you in advance 😸

You Have to Pay for the Service

I didn't really know I had to pay for the service but considering the resources its understandable, however it does get really expensive if you want to expand the reach for your cause. It was about $40 for a 1 mile radius. They do give you flyer templates and a sponsored post on social media. What I didnt like about the resources was that my FB sponsored post wasnt editable and I had made some typos that I wanted to correct. I was able to correct my pet's profile description but I found that it didnt update the flyer or the FB Post.

My cat thankfully was able to just stroll back inside through our garage as I left it a bit open with his food bowl in there. He realised that the rainy and cold outside world was definitely not for him. Another tip a vet friend had told me before was to leave his litter box at the front door so he could find the house, it was a great tip and I believe it actually worked for me.

Hi dear Justine,

First of all, I’m so relieved to hear your cat made it home safe and sound 😻 What a clever boy. And your vet friend gave you such a great tip. I’m especially happy to hear it worked, since that’s actually one of the tips we send out to every pet parent within the first hour of registration. It’s so encouraging to see again and again just how effective those small actions can be 💛

Thank you also for your thoughtful and honest review. You're absolutely right, while many of our tools are free, the social media ads do come with a cost because they run as actual paid campaigns through Meta. We’re always working to keep things as accessible as possible 🙏

Regarding the edits, once an ad is submitted, Meta requires it to go through a review process before it can go live. After it's approved, it becomes a bit harder to make changes (definitely trickier than updating the poster). That said, we're always here to help and try to accommodate every pet parent’s needs as best we can. If something’s not right, we’ll always do our best to find a fix.

Feedback like yours is what helps us grow and improve for every pet parent who comes to us in a moment of panic or fear. So truly, thank you again for taking the time. Wishing you and your little explorer all the calm, warmth, and cuddles now that he's back home!

free for small area pls

it will mean the world to me if you let 2 km social media post free. BUT if you cant do that then can you do 1km or even 0.5 km. I'm not forcing you but still, mango would've returned if people saw on social media. thank you for your help. I will make sure to pet radar if my new pet gets lost. hopefully that will never happen 😅.

Aww Zaain, I truly understand your request 😢💛

It would honestly be amazing if we could offer social media advertisements for free... The challenge is that these are actual paid ads through Meta, not posts, and as a small team of animal lovers we unfortunately cannot pay for each and every campaign ourselves. With so many pets needing help around the world, it’s just not financially possible for us to cover those ad costs 😞

But your message really means a lot, and I genuinely hope that one day, with enough support from the community, we can make this kind of help available to everyone in need. Thank you for your kind words, and I truly hope you’ll never need us again, but if you do, we’ll always be here 💛
