First steps if you lose your dog in Maesteg

  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 the Afon Llynfi and the Nant Sychbant, the river paths that act as corridors, then check Afan Argoed Country Park, about 2.8 miles away.

  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 people at Parc Calon Lan, about 3.0 miles away, and Afan Argoed Country Park to watch and call rather than chase, so a frightened dog stays where it can be called back.

  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

    Let Bryn, about 2.4 miles to the west, and Pontycymer, around 3.2 miles to the east, know, since a dog may already have reached them.
