First steps if you lose your dog in Stowmarket

  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 Gipping and the Rattlesden River, since a dog can cover a lot of ground in the first hours, with Harleston Green about 2.4 miles away.

  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 Thorney Green, about 1.2 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 Needham Market, about 3.2 miles to the south-east, and Rattlesden, roughly 4.4 miles to the west, in your alert, since a dog may already have reached either.
