First steps if you lose your dog in Ellesmere Port

  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 toward Stanney Woods Country Park, 1 mile away, and Rivacre Valley Country Park at 1.2 miles, along any path or field edge.

  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 at Whitby Park, 0.3 miles away, and Westminster Park, 0.5 miles, 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 Childer Thornton, 3.2 miles west, and Mollington, 3.5 miles south, in the alert, since a dog may already have reached them.
