First steps if you lose your dog in Nantwich

  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 Shropshire Union Canal and the River Weaver, then on to Queen's Park, about 2.8 miles away, where a dog could 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 walkers in Nantwich Riverside and Brookfield Park, both under half a mile away, 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 Willaston, about 1.6 miles east, Butt Green, around 1.2 miles south-east, and Wybunbury, roughly 3.3 miles south-east, when you spread the word.

Can you drop off a stray dog in Nantwich outside council working hours?

Cheshire East's Stray Dog Service has no pickup outside working hours and no drop-off after 9pm at any time. A dog found outside working hours but before 9pm may be taken to the council's kennelling provider, Acorn Kennels in Whitchurch, Shropshire, but you must phone ahead first because this might not always be possible.
