First steps if you lose your dog in Skegness

  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 Steeping River, about 2.7 miles away, and the Dudick Bank Drain, around 3 miles, where a dog can travel a long way.

  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 Tower Gardens and Compass Gardens to watch and call your dog calmly rather than chase 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

    Tell people in Burgh le Marsh, about 4.2 miles to the west, and Ingoldmells, around 3.5 miles to the north, since a dog may already have reached them.

No. East Lindsey District Council's Public Spaces Protection Order bans dogs from the beaches at Skegness, Sutton on Sea and Mablethorpe from 1 May to 30 September each year, and dogs must also be on a lead on the promenades. Breaching the ban can lead to a fine of up to £1,000.
