First steps if you lose your dog in Acton

  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 along the River Thames and the Grand Union Canal, about 1.6 and 1.8 miles away, then check Osterley Park, around 3.0 miles off, since a dog can cover several miles in the first hours.

  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 Gunnersbury Park and Wormwood Scrubs Park, about 0.7 and 1.4 miles away, 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

    Include Ealing Common, about 0.9 miles to the west, and Mortlake, around 2.7 miles to the south, in your alert, since a dog could already have reached them.
