First steps if you lose your dog in Waterlooville

  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 Wallington River and Bedhampton Brook, about 0.6 and 2.4 miles away, then Staunton Country Park, around 1.4 miles off, since a dog can cover several miles 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 at Staunton Country Park and Fielders Park, about 1.4 and 0.9 miles away, to watch and call rather than chase, keeping their voices calm.

  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 Cowplain, about 1.1 miles to the north-east, and Cosham, around 2.7 miles to the south-west, in your alert, since a dog could already have reached them.
