First steps if you lose your dog in Kidsgrove

  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 Westport Lake Park, about 2.5 miles away, and Tunstall Park, around 2.2 miles off, where a dog can cover a long way 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 Bathpool Park and Birchenwood Country Park to watch and call calmly rather than chase, and to tell you straight away if they see him.

  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 Audley, about 3.7 miles to the south-west, and Endon, around 5.3 miles to the east, in your alert, since a dog may already have reached either.
