PEt Search & Recovery.

Fast Action Matters.

Time is critical when a pet goes missing that is why we take action as swiftly and effectively as possible. The first few hours are the most crucial for a successful recovery, as pets tend to stay within a certain radius before fear, hunger, or injury causes them to wander farther.

Draugr Drones deploys advanced thermal imaging and aerial search technology to cover large areas quickly, spotting lost pets in places humans can’t easily search.
