First steps if you lose your dog in Hounslow

1
Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.
Tip from locals
Search outward towards Bushy Park and Richmond Park, about 2.9 and 3 miles away, then the Royal Botanic Gardens, roughly 2.2 miles off, since a dog can cover several miles in the first hours.
2
Call the shelter, the local police and nearby vets straight away: a loose dog is usually picked up and handed in quickly.
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 Osterley Park, about 1.2 miles away, and on Hounslow Heath, about a mile off, to watch and call calmly rather than chase.
4
Leave something carrying your scent, plus water, where he went missing, and check back regularly.
Tip from locals
Place the scent item and water on the quieter side away from the A315 and A314, which run close to the centre.
5
Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.
Tip from locals
Check Cranford to the west, about 2.3 miles away, and Brentford to the north-east, around 2.6 miles off, since a dog may already have reached them.
