Primary service
Lost pet search
Rapid assessment and aerial thermal search for missing dogs and other pets—especially near fields, trails, bush lines, and rural properties.

Built for the search
More ground covered.
More information, faster.
Thermal Track Canada combines aerial heat detection, high-zoom imaging, and mapped search patterns to help narrow the search area quickly.
Thermal searching can be used across all types of environments, but performance is better in some conditions than others. Cooler temperatures, open terrain, and a recent sighting usually provide the clearest opportunity for detection. Every call starts with a no-pressure assessment.

The response
Clear steps in a stressful moment.
- 01
Tell us the last known facts
Location, time, direction of travel, sightings, terrain, and a current photo.
- 02
We assess the opportunity
We determine whether conditions, airspace, and terrain make an aerial thermal search worthwhile.
- 03
We search systematically
Priority areas are mapped and flown in overlapping patterns—not searched at random.
- 04
We verify and guide
Heat signatures are checked with visual zoom and useful findings are relayed from above.
Straight answers
Thermal is powerful.
It is not magic.
Thermal cameras detect temperature differences. They do not see through buildings, solid cover, or dense tree canopy. Warm ground, heavy vegetation, distance, weather, and an outdated sighting can all reduce the chance of detection.
That is why we assess first. If the situation is not suited to an aerial search, we will say so.

Before you call
Good questions.
Straight answers.
When there is a recent confirmed sighting, a defined search area, cooler ambient conditions, and accessible terrain such as fields, trails, bush edges, wetlands, or rural properties.
No. Thermal cameras detect surface heat and cannot see through solid objects or dense canopy. Openings, forest edges, trails, and gaps in cover can still provide useful visibility.
No responsible search operator can guarantee an animal is still within the searchable area or visible from above. The service is a professional search operation, not a guaranteed recovery.
A current photo, the exact last confirmed location and time, direction of travel, later sightings, temperament, collar or leash details, and any property-access information.
Sometimes, but cats often shelter beneath decks, sheds, vehicles, and thick cover. We assess the location first and will be honest if cameras, traps, or a ground-based approach would be more useful.
