First steps if you lose your dog in Cannock

  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 Hednesford Hills Common, about 1.9 miles away, and Cannock Chase Country Park, roughly 2.5 miles off, since a dog can cover several kilometres 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 people walking in Mill Green Nature Park, about 0.4 miles away, and Littleton Leisure Park, around 1.8 miles off, to watch and call calmly 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 Penkridge, about 4.3 miles north-west, and Shareshill, around 3.2 miles south-west, in your alert, since a dog may already have reached them.
