First steps if you lose your dog in St. Austell

  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 Sandy River and the Polgooth Stream, then the open ground at Caerloggas Downs, about 2.2 miles away, which a dog may cross.

  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 walkers on Caerloggas Downs, about 2.2 miles away, 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 Mevagissey, about 4.5 miles to the south, and Luxulian, around 4.2 miles to the north-east, in the registry alert so the owner covers places a dog may already have reached.
