First steps if you lose your dog in Battersea

  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 Hyde Park, about 1.9 miles away, and Kensington Gardens, 2.1 miles off, which can act as corridors for a dog.

  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 on Wandsworth Common, about 1.4 miles away, and Tooting Bec Common, 2.4 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

    When you spread the word, include Balham, about 1.7 miles to the south, and Brixton Hill, around 2.1 miles to the south-east, since a dog could already have reached them.
