First steps if you lose your dog in Devizes

  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 Kennet and Avon Canal, about 0.3 miles away, and the Worton Stream, roughly 1.7 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 walkers in Hillworth Park and Diamond Jubilee Wood, about 0.2 and 1.4 miles away, 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 Potterne, about 1.6 miles south, Rowde, around 1.8 miles north-west, and Worton, roughly 3.2 miles south-west, when you spread the word.

What should I do if I find a stray dog in Devizes?

In Devizes, Wiltshire Council's dog wardens collect stray dogs from 9am to 4pm on weekdays, and strays reported after 4pm are collected as soon as possible on the next working day. The wardens cannot come out to roaming or unrestrained dogs, so keep the dog secured in a safe place first, and the council says strays cannot be left at council offices. If you are unable to care for the dog until the next working day, the council's out-of-hours service will direct you to its holding kennels, or the council recommends finding your nearest 24-hour vet practice, which may be able to hold the dog for collection.
