First steps if you lose your dog in Royton

  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 Bishop Park, about 2.7 miles away, and Alexandra Park, around 2.1 miles out, where a dog can cover ground in the first hours.

  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 Dun Wood Park, about 1.9 miles away, and Chadderton Hall Park, around 1.5 miles off, 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 Milnrow to the north, about 3.2 miles, and Delph to the east, around 4.4 miles, in the alert so neighbours there know to look.
