First steps if you lose your dog in Kilwinning

  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 Beach Park, about 2.3 miles away, and along the Lugton Water, around 0.9 miles out, where a dog can cover ground 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 dog walkers in Towns Moor, about 1.4 miles away, and Ardeer Park, around 2 miles off, 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 Dalry to the north, about 3.9 miles, and Ardrossan to the west, around 4.2 miles, in the alert so people there know to look.
