First steps if you lose your dog in Dungarvan

  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 toward Inchadrisla Wood, about 4.7 km away, and along the River Brickey, about 2.1 km out, where a dog can cover ground quickly.

  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 straight away, while the dog is still close.

  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 in Walton Park and Dungarvan Park 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.

    Tip from locals

    Keep the scent item on the side away from the N25 trunk road, about 400 metres away.

  5. 5

    Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.

    Tip from locals

    Include Old Pike Bridge, about 3.2 km to the north-east, and Killangford Bridge, around 3.3 km to the south-west, since a dog may already have reached them.
