First steps if you lose your dog in Colwyn Bay

  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 Min Afon and the Afon Wydden, about 1.5 and 1.9 miles away, then on to Prince's Green, around 2.2 miles off.

  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 in Queen's Gardens, just 0.2 miles away, and Wynn Gardens, about 1.4 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

    Name Rhôs-on-Sea 1.1 miles west, Mochdre 1.3 miles south-west and Deganwy about 4.2 miles west as places a dog may already have reached.
