First steps if you lose your dog in Dundee

  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 towards Camperdown Park, about 2.5 miles away, and Dawson Park around 2.7 miles off, following the Dighty Water, about 1.9 miles away, as a corridor.

  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 Baxter Park, about 0.9 miles away, and Balgay Park, around 1.4 miles off, 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

    Share the alert in Newport-on-Tay about 2 miles south-east, Tayport around 3.6 miles east and Gauldry, roughly 4.2 miles south, where a dog may already have reached.
