First steps if you lose your dog in Swadlincote

  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 Stanton Brook, about 1.8 miles away, and the wooded edges of Donisthorpe Woodland Park, around 3.1 miles out.

  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 Hicks Lodge, about 2.8 miles away, and Sandholes Open Space, 0.6 miles off, 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

    When spreading the word, include Donisthorpe, about 3.5 miles to the south, and Newton Solney, around 4 miles to the north, since a dog may already have reached them.
