First steps if you lose your dog in Kempston Hardwick

  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 along Greenway Brook, about 1.5 miles out, and Great Denham Country Park, roughly 2 miles away, since a dog can cover several miles in the first hours.

  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 Wixams Greenway, about 1.3 miles away, to watch and call rather than chase, especially near the paths.

  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 Wilstead, about 2.2 miles east, and Houghton Conquest, around 2.1 miles south-east, in the targeted alert.
