First steps if you lose your dog in Maldon

  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 River Blackwater and Langford Ditch, which run out of town, then check Chigborough Lakes, about 1.5 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 dog walkers in Promenade Park and Elms Farm Park to watch and call calmly rather than chase, since both are close to the centre.

  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 Goldhanger, about 3.3 miles to the east, and Great Totham, around 4.0 miles to the north, when you spread the word, since a dog may already have reached them.
