First steps if you lose your dog in Glenrothes

  1. 1

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

    Tip from locals

    Follow the River Leven and the Balbirnie Burn out of town, and search The Airfield, about 2.1 miles away, where a dog can cover ground quickly.

  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 Tanshill Park and Common, both about 1.3 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 Markinch to the east, Leslie to the west and Freuchie to the north in the alert, about 1.5, 1.7 and 3.5 miles out, since a dog may already have reached them.
