I have a multisite WP so once I go through the blogs for some reasons in some blogs url_to_postid() works, in other blogs on the post of the same type it doesn't while get_page_by_path() works like charm. So I made it this way, which may be not perfect though:

$parsed_url = wp_parse_url( $url ); // Parse URL
$slug = substr($parsed_url['path'], 1 ); // Trim slash in the beginning

$post_id = url_to_postid( $slug ); // Attempt to get post ID

if ( ! $post_id ) { // If it didn't work try to get it manually from DB
    $post_query_result = 
        $wpdb->get_row("SELECT ID FROM {$wpdb->prefix}posts WHERE post_name = '{$slug}'");
    $analog_id = (int) $post_query_result->ID;
}

You should be fine with url_to_postid()[see documentation] which is located in rewrite.php. I used it in a plugin of mine last year, works like a charm.

please use 

  $postid = url_to_postid( $url );

to retrive the ID of an attachment.

It is required that the url provided be in the format of example.com/?attachment_id=N and will not work with the full URL to get the id from the full URL.

url_to_postid() as of 3.7.0: This function now supports custom post types (see Trac tickets #19744, #25659).

you can try this one also:

$post = get_page_by_path('cat',OBJECT,'animal');

cat is the one you are looking for= the permalink; animal is the custom post type,

I've got a dedicated (& documented) function for that:

get_page_by_path( $page_path, $output, $post_type );

Retrieves a page given its path.

Where $page_path is

[...] the equivalent of the 'pagename' query, as in: 'index.php?pagename=parent-page/sub-page'.

See Function Reference/get page by path

Example:

// Assume 'my_permalink' is a post.
// But all types are supported: post, page, attachment, custom post type, etc.
// See http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types
get_page_by_path('my_permalink', OBJECT, 'post');
