Several methods are employed to get the job done. Some of them include using dogs or cats to trace the pets with their smell and from the location where they were last seen, putting up signs which cost $295, and even employing news footage to get the public aware of the lost pet. Sometimes the Pet Detective might have to deduce a lie from the clients. All of these require a measure of hard work.
