First steps if you lose your dog in Northfleet

  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 Thames and toward Beacon Wood Country Park, about 2.5 miles away.

  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 Swanscombe Heritage Park, about 1.5 miles off, and Woodlands Park, around 1.3 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

    Name Swanscombe 1.2 miles west, Southfleet 2 miles south and Chadwell St Mary 2.9 miles north-east as places a dog may already have reached.
