Report an animal-welfare concern.
Use Peqaboo’s public form to record what you observed, or open the VetSheet route for veterinary professionals. Reports are stored for review. Peqaboo is not an emergency service or investigating authority.
Why this channel exists
When you are concerned about an animal’s welfare, a clear record of what you saw can help the next person understand the situation. Describe observations, timing, location, and any business details you know.
Peqaboo provides a way to submit that information. A report is an allegation, not a finding, and submission does not guarantee follow-up or action by Peqaboo or any authority.
Specific, first-hand details are more useful than conclusions or rumours.
If an animal is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or the relevant animal-welfare authority directly. Do not wait for this form.
Choose the reporting route
The public form does not require a Peqaboo account. Veterinary professionals can use the separate VetSheet safeguarding workflow.
VetSheet safeguarding workflow
VetSheet includes a clinical safeguarding report from a linked patient case. Open VetSheet to review that workflow and its requirements.

Open reporting formWhat happens after submission
- 1
Report received
The submitted details are stored in Peqaboo safeguarding records. The form does not publish the report to social feeds or the reported business.
- 2
Available for human review
Safeguarding records can be opened in an admin review queue. People—not the public form—decide whether more information or another step is appropriate.
- 3
Possible next steps
If a reviewer considers further action appropriate, they may prepare information for a relevant authority. Submission does not guarantee escalation, response, or outcome.
Built around careful handling
These limits matter as much as the reporting form.
People decide next steps
Automated output is not presented as a finding and does not contact an authority by itself.
Privacy, explained plainly
No Peqaboo login or name is required. If you provide a contact channel and consent to contact, it is encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest. For rate limiting, only an IP-derived hash is stored, not the IP address.
A report is not a verdict
Peqaboo does not publish an allegation as proof that a person or business did something wrong.
Not an emergency service
If an animal is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or the relevant animal-welfare authority directly. Do not wait for this form.
