First steps if you lose your dog in South Ruislip

  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 Pinn, 1.9 miles away, and towards Bayhurst Wood Country Park, 2.9 miles off, where a dog can cover ground quickly.

  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 Minet Country Park, 2.7 miles away, and Grange Park, 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 Hillingdon, 2.4 miles south-west, and Northwood Hills, 3.0 miles north, in your alert, since a dog may already have reached them.
