SOS Animals
Lost or found an animal?
Lost and found animals — this service does not replace veterinary emergency care
Injured animal, or in distress? Call your usual vet or your region's veterinary emergency service, without delay. This service does not replace veterinary emergency care. To find one: vet directory or exotic-pet emergencies on nac.ch. As a last resort, to find a vet near you: search for “emergency vet near me” on Google Maps — the link opens Google's own site, which will ask for your location; animaux.ch never asks for it.

The short code on a poster
A short code — a few letters and digits — is printed on the poster of a missing animal. By entering it here, you open that animal's notice and can write to the person who published it, without knowing their e-mail address, which is never published. Their phone number stays private unless they chose to show it.
