First steps if you lose your dog in Cricklewood

  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 Brent and the Grand Union Canal, about 1.3 and 2.0 miles away, then check Fryent Country Park, around 2.6 miles off, since a dog can cover several miles 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 dog walkers in Gladstone Park and Hampstead Heath, about 0.6 and 1.2 miles away, 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 Queen's Park, about 1.9 miles to the south, and Belsize Park, around 2.0 miles to the east, in your alert, since a dog could already have reached them.

What should I do if I find a stray dog in the Brent part of Cricklewood?

Check whether the owner is nearby. If the owner cannot be found, contact Brent Council. If you have the dog and can keep it secure, the council will ask its contractor to collect it; collection may not be immediate, and the contractor will attend only if the dog is contained. Outside the council’s opening times, it advises taking the dog to a vet or rehoming centre for a microchip check, keeping it safe if possible, and contacting the council the next day.
