First steps if you lose your dog in Cavan

  1. 1

    Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.

    Tip from locals

    Drumcon Forest, 3.2 km away, and Derrygid Wood, 3.7 km off, are the wooded corridors where a dog can run a long way.

  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, so call it and the local police straight away.

  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 anyone walking in Drumkeen House Woodland, 2.2 km away, or Derrygid Wood, 3.7 km off, 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 Butlersbridge, 5.9 km to the north, and Ballyhaise, 7.2 km to the north-east, in your alert, since a dog may already have reached them.
