First steps if you lose your dog in Stratford-upon-Avon

  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 Racecourse Brook and the Rush Brook, about 0.5 and 0.4 miles away, then the River Stour, roughly 1.2 miles off, a corridor where a dog can cover ground fast.

  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

    Dog walkers gather in Shottery Fields and Milcote Picnic Area; ask them to watch and call calmly rather than chase, since chasing pushes a frightened dog further away.

  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 Binton, about 3.5 miles to the west, and Bearley, about 3.8 miles to the north, in the alert, since a dog may already have reached them.
