First steps if you lose your dog in Yate

  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 Ladden Brook, about 2.2 miles out, and the River Boyd, around 3.1 miles away, two water corridors a dog could follow 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 Colt's Green, about 1.6 miles away, and Brinsham Fields, around 1 mile 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 Westerleigh to the south-west, about 1.9 miles, and Rangeworthy to the north-west, around 2.2 miles, in the alert so people there know to look.
