First steps if you lose your dog in Barry

  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 Cosmeston Lakes Country Park, 3 miles away, and Dinas Powis Common at 2.4 miles, since dogs can cover that ground fast.

  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 Romilly Park, 1.2 miles away, and Cold Knap Gardens, 1.5 miles, to watch and call 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 Wenvoe, 2.9 miles north, and Rhoose, 4 miles west, in the alert, so the wider area around the town is covered.

What should I do if I find a stray dog in Barry?

Shared Regulatory Services, which covers the Vale of Glamorgan including Barry, asks you to give details of the dog, including where and when you found it. The dog must be checked for a microchip by the dog warden or a vet, or you can bring it to the kennels yourself. If it has not been reported missing, the dog warden collects it from you during office hours.
