First steps if you lose your dog in Castletroy

  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 Shannon, about 600 metres away, and the Mulkear, around 800 metres, which can act as corridors for a dog.

  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 5 vet practices within 5 km and the police straight away, alongside your search.

  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 people using The Park and The Woods not to chase, but to watch and call you instead.

  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

    A dog may already have reached Ardnacrusha, about 5.7 km to the north-west, or Moyross, around 5.9 km to the west, so include both in your alert.
