First steps if you lose your dog in Hinckley

  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 Burbage Common and Woods, about 1.2 miles away, then along the Soar Brook, around 2.2 miles out.

  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 Hollycroft Park and Queen's Park 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 Elmesthorpe, about 2.9 miles to the north-east, and Wigston Parva, about 3.4 miles to the south-east, in the alert.
