First steps if you lose your dog in Newcastle-under-Lyme

  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 to Berry Hill Fields, about 2.5 miles away, and Westport Lake Park, around 2.4 miles out, as a dog on the run can cover a lot of ground early on.

  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 Lyme Valley Parkway, about 0.3 miles away, and Hanley Park, around 1.9 miles out, 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

    Tell people in Tunstall, about 3.4 miles north, and Audley, around 4.1 miles north-west, to keep a lookout, since the dog may already have reached those places.
