First steps if you lose your dog in Drogheda

  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 Boyne, 0.2 km away, and into Glenmore Forest, 4.5 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 2 vet practices within 5 km and the local police right away, and ask the clinics to note any dog brought 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 at Brookville Park, 1.1 km away, and The Ring, 1 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 Donore, 5.1 km to the south-west, and Beaulieu Cross, 4 km to the north-east, in your alert.
