First steps if you lose your dog in Melton Mowbray

  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 Wreake and Burton Brook, about 1.2 and 1.8 miles away, and then Kirby Fields Park, about 1.1 miles off, where a dog can cover ground fast.

  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 Melton Country Park, about 0.4 miles away, and Kirby Fields Park, about 1.1 miles away, 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 Burton Lazars, about 1.8 miles south-east, Asfordby, about 3 miles west, and Long Clawson, about 5.2 miles north, in the alert so neighbours there can keep watch.
