First steps if you lose your dog in Saint Ives

  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 Great Ouse and Back Brook, about 0.4 and 1.1 miles away, then Heath Drain, roughly 1.4 miles off, where a dog can cover ground fast.

  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 people in Berman Park, about 0.4 miles away, to watch and call calmly rather than chase, since it is the only park listed nearby.

  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 Hemingford Grey, about 1.4 miles south-west, Holywell, roughly 2.1 miles south-east, and Fenstanton, around 2.4 miles south, when you spread the word.
