Lost your pet?
We'll search from the sky.

Lost Paws flies thermal-camera drones that detect your pet's body heat — even hidden in woods, tall grass, or in the dark. No charge, ever.

  • ✓ Finds pets by body heat
  • ✓ Day & night searches
  • ✓ FAA Drone Part 107 certified

Why thermal matters

Hiding pets are hard to see. Their warmth isn't.

Scared pets go quiet and hide. From above, our infrared camera spots their body heat through brush and darkness — covering acres in minutes that would take hours on foot.
