The steps to report someone who is neglecting their pet include taking photographs or videos of the animal if possible, documenting any observations of the animal's physical and/or mental health and behaviors, notifying the local animal control office or police department, providing information about previous conversations with the owner if applicable, and seeking help from local rescues and shelters. If necessary, a wildlife organization should be contacted for endangered species.

The first step to take when reporting someone who is neglecting their pet is to document the instance. If possible, take photos or videos of the situation. Include details such as the location, date and time, and people involved.

Next, gather evidence of the neglect by observing it yourself if possible or getting a witness to do so. Document as many instances of neglect as you can find like overfeeding/undernourishing, not providing adequate medical care/housing/ventilation needs etc.

It is also important to gather any relevant information about both parties; this includes their contact details and any proof they may have submitted regarding proper pet care (i.e vet receipts). 

Finally make a report with your local animal welfare service providing all relevant documents and evidence you have collected up until now which will enable them to take an appropriate action against the culprit within their scope of authority!
