First steps if you lose your dog in Swansea

  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 Clyne River, about 2.4 miles away, and Morriston Park, about 3 miles off, since a dog can cover a good distance in the first hours.

  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 Clyne Gardens, about 2.7 miles away, and Llewelyn Park, about 2.2 miles off, to call calmly and watch 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

    Share the dog's details in Dunvant, about 3.8 miles west, and Pontlliw, roughly 5.7 miles north-west, since a dog may already have reached them.
