First steps if you lose your dog in Stevenage

  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 Langley Brook and Ash Brook paths, and through Knebworth Country Park, about 1.2 miles away, 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 walkers in Bandley Hill Park and Shephalbury Park to watch and call calmly rather than chase, about 1.4 to 1.6 miles from the centre.

  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

    Share the alert in Knebworth, about 2.5 miles south, Datchworth, roughly 3.9 miles south-east, and Benington, around 4 miles east, since a dog may already have reached them.
