First steps if you lose your dog in Heswall

  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 Arrowe, about 2.4 miles away, and Royden Park, roughly 2.8 miles off, both large parks where a dog can cover ground.

  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 Wirral Country Park and Whitfield Common to watch and call rather than chase.

  4. 4

    Leave something carrying your scent, plus water, where he went missing, and check back regularly.

    Tip from locals

    Keep the scent item and water away from the A551, which runs about 0.6 miles from the centre.

  5. 5

    Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.

    Tip from locals

    Include Willaston, about 4.7 miles south-east, and West Kirby, roughly 4.8 miles north-west, when you spread the word.
