First steps if you lose your dog in Abbey Wood

  1. 1

    Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.

    Tip from locals

    Search outward toward the River Thames, about 1.7 miles away, and across Woolwich Common, roughly 2 miles off.

  2. 2

    Call the shelter, the local police and nearby vets straight away: a loose dog is usually picked up and handed in quickly.

  3. 3

    Ask people not to chase or shout — a frightened dog runs. Crouch down, avoid eye contact and call calmly.

    Tip from locals

    Ask dog walkers in Danson Park, about 1.9 miles away, and Lesnes Abbey Park, roughly 0.8 miles off, to watch and call rather than chase.

  4. 4

    Leave something carrying your scent, plus water, where he went missing, and check back regularly.

  5. 5

    Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.

    Tip from locals

    Let Bexley, about 3.6 miles to the south-east, and Erith, roughly 2.9 miles to the east, know, since a dog may already have reached them.
