First steps if you lose your dog in Paisley

  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 toward Gleniffer Braes Country Park, about 2 miles away, and Robertson Park, around 2.2 miles out, as a dog on the move 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 Barshaw Park, about 0.9 miles out, and at Rosshall Estate Gardens, around 2.4 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

    Tell people in Inchinnan, about 3.1 miles north, and Neilston, around 4.2 miles south, to keep a lookout, since the dog may already have reached those villages.
