Fireworks and other loud noises account for nearly 20% of missing pets, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).

To help pet owners cope with a missing dog or another pet as a result of noisy July 4 celebrations, thunderstorms and natural disasters, the ASPCA has created a free smartphone app for iOS and Android. The app’s been downloaded about 11,000 times on Android and 10,400 times on iOS, an ASPCA spokeswoman said Thursday.

The ASPCA Pet Safety app shows pet owners ways to search for a lost animal that are tailored to the pet’s personality and where the pet went missing. It also helps an owner create a digital lost pet flyer to share quickly over a user’s social networks. Tips for ensuring a pet’s safety are included, as well as a place to store medical information and other vital stats about a pet. There’s even a field to store a pet’s specific embedded identity chip number for quick reference in an emergency.
