First steps if you lose your dog in Blantyre

  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 Clyde and through Strathclyde Country Park, about 1.7 miles away, and Chatelherault Country Park, roughly 3 miles off, where a dog can cover a lot of ground.

  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 at Bothwell Road Public Park, about 1.4 miles away, and in Udston and Glenlee Community Woodland 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 High Blantyre, about 0.7 miles south-west, Bothwell, roughly 1.1 miles north-east, and Uddingston, around 1.9 miles north, when you spread the word, as a dog may already have reached them.
