First steps if you lose your dog in Eastbourne

  1. 1

    Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.

    Tip from locals

    A dog can cover several miles, so search outward toward Princes Park, about 1.5 miles away, Hampden Park Arboretum and History Garden, about 1.9 miles out, then Shinewater Park, around 2.3 miles away.

  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 Gildredge Park and Sovereign Park to watch and call calmly rather than chase, and to keep their dogs close.

  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 Pevensey Bay, about 4.4 miles to the north-east, and Alfriston, about 6 miles to the north-west, in the alert.

Eastbourne's council takes lost and found dog reports through an online form on its website. For a found stray it asks for the breed, colour, size, sex and where and roughly when you found the dog; for a lost dog it asks about breed, colour, size, sex, where it went missing, its name, collar and ID tag, and whether it is microchipped.

Where must dogs be kept on a lead in Eastbourne?

Under Eastbourne's local dog control orders, dogs must be on a lead along the seafront promenades from Holywell to Langney Point from 1 May to 30 September, although the council says they need not be on a lead on the Western and Middle Parades as long as no one is inconvenienced. Lead-only applies all year round at Sovereign Harbour (Southern Marina), Manor Gardens, Motcombe Gardens, the lakeside area of Hampden Park and Princes Park, Howard Square, Wilmington Square, and some other sites. The council's page lists a fixed penalty of £75 for offences.
