First steps if you lose your dog in Blanchardstown

  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 Tolka, 0.5 km away, and across Farmleigh, 2.3 km out, since a dog can cover several kilometres 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.

    Tip from locals

    Call the 4 vet practices within 5 km and the local police right away, and ask each clinic to call you if a dog comes in.

  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 Millennium Park, 0.9 km away, and Waterstown, 2.4 km out, 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

    Report to the microchip registry, then include Castleknock, 1.7 km to the south-east, and Ballyfermot, 5 km to the south, in your alert.
