First steps if you lose your dog in Oadby

  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 Evington Brook and Wash Brook, then Brocks Hill Country Park, about 0.8 miles away, and Riverside Park, about 2.7 miles out.

  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 Knighton Park, under a mile away, and Victoria Park, about 1.7 miles out, 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 Great Glen, about 2.9 miles south-east, Kilby, around 3.7 miles south, and Blaby, about 4 miles south-west, in the alert.
