First steps if you lose your dog in Alloa

  1. 1

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

    Tip from locals

    Follow the River Forth and the Black Devon out of town, since these waterways act as corridors, then check Abercromby Park, about 2.0 miles away.

  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 walkers in Gartmorn Dam Country Park, about 1.7 miles away, and Cochrane Park, around 2.7 miles, 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 Sauchie, about 1.4 miles north-east, and Tullibody, around 2.2 miles north-west, know, since a dog may already have reached them.
