First steps if you lose your dog in Dartford

  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 Dartford Heath, about 0.75 miles away, and toward Darenth Country Park, roughly 1.8 miles off, where a dog can cover ground fast.

  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 Martens Grove Park, about 2.1 miles away, and Worcester Park, around 2.3 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

    Tell the registry and share the photo in Bexley, about 2.9 miles west, and Purfleet-on-Thames, roughly 2.9 miles north-east, the nearby areas a dog could already reach.
