First steps if you lose your dog in Great Yarmouth

  1. 1

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

    Tip from locals

    Search out along the River Bure and the River Yare, then Bure Park, about 1.4 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 people using Meadow Park and Bure Park to watch and call calmly rather than chase, about 1.7 and 1.4 miles from the centre.

  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 Caister-on-Sea to the north, about 2.9 miles away, Gorleston-on-Sea to the south, roughly 2.4 miles, and Ormesby St Margaret, about 5 miles north, in the alert.
