First steps if you lose your dog in Livingston

  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 Almondell and Calder Wood Country Park, 1.1 miles away, and along the Killandean Burn, 0.7 miles, where a dog can keep moving.

  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 at Almond Park, 0.7 miles away, and Peel Park, 0.9 miles, to watch and call 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 Seafield, 2.7 miles west, Dechmont, 2.7 miles north, and West Calder, 3 miles south-west, in the alert, since a dog may already have reached them.
