First steps if you lose your dog in Milton Keynes

  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 Ouzel and Springhill Brook, about 1.5 and 1.7 miles away, and Willen Lake, roughly 1.6 miles off, since a dog can cover a lot of ground.

  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 Ouse Valley Park, about 2.5 miles away, and Caldecotte Lake, also about 2.5 miles off, to call calmly and watch 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

    Share it in Woburn Sands, about 5 miles to the east, and Newton Longville, about 4.5 miles south, since a dog may already have reached them.
