First steps if you lose your dog in Strood

  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 Ranscombe Farm Country Park and Shorne Wood Country Park, about 1.5 and 2.9 miles away, which give a dog plenty of open ground to run into.

  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 Broom Hill Park and Lower Lines Park, about 0.6 and 1.9 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

    Name Chattenden, about 2.2 miles north-east, and Halling, around 3.7 miles south-west, as places a dog may already have reached, so include them when you spread the word.
