First steps if you lose your dog in Bath

  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 Linear Park, about 0.9 miles away, and the Lam Brook and Horsecombe Brook paths, around 1.3 and 1.7 miles out, where a dog can cover ground quickly.

  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 Royal Victoria Park and Alexandra Park to watch and call calmly rather than chase, since both are within about 0.4 miles of the centre.

  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

    Share the alert in Charlcombe, about 1.6 miles north, Priston, roughly 4.3 miles south-west, and Saltford, around 4.5 miles west, since a dog may already have reached them.
