First steps if you lose your dog in Athy

  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 into Inch Wood, about 4.9 km away, and along the Barrow Navigation, which runs around 600 metres from the centre, as a corridor.

  2. 2

    Call the shelter, the local police and nearby vets straight away: a loose dog is usually picked up and handed in quickly.

    Tip from locals

    1 vet practice is within 5 km of Athy, so call it straight away, along with the local police.

  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 walkers at People's Park, about 300 metres away, 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 Dunbrin, about 2.7 km south, and Foxhill, around 2.8 km east, when spreading the alert, since a dog may already have reached them.
