First steps if you lose your dog in Pontypool

  1. 1

    Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.

    Tip from locals

    Dogs can cover a lot of ground, so search outward along the Afon Lwyd and Trosnant Brook, then check Glansychan Park King George's Field, about 1.8 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 anyone walking dogs in Panteg Park to watch and call calmly rather than chase, since a frightened dog runs from people who come after it.

  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

    Share the alert in Cwmbran, about 3.4 miles south, and Crumlin, about 4.4 miles west, since a dog may already have reached either.
