First steps if you lose your dog in Wellingborough

  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 toward Irchester Country Park, about 1.2 miles away, and along the River Ise, around 0.9 miles off, two routes a dog could take.

  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 Castle Fields, about 0.4 miles away, and Dale End Park, roughly 0.5 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

    Include Orlingbury, about 3.4 miles north-west, and Earls Barton, around 3.5 miles south-west, in your alert, as places a dog may already have reached.

What should you do if you find a stray dog in Wellingborough?
