First steps if you lose your dog in Mendip

  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 St Andrew's Stream, about 2.3 miles away, and the River Sheppey, roughly 2.4 miles off, since a dog can cover several kilometres 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 people walking at Cathedral Green, about 2 miles away, and Priddy Green, around 2.6 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 Wells, about 2.2 miles south-west, and Westbury-sub-Mendip, roughly 3.9 miles west, in your alert, since a dog may already have reached them.
