First steps if you lose your dog in Kildare

  1. 1

    Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few 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 6 vet practices within 5 km and the local police straight away, starting with the nearest.

  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 Cherry Avenue Park and Saint Fiachra's Garden 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

    Leave the scent item and water on the side away from the M7 motorway, which runs about 600 metres from the centre.

  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 Maddenstown, about 3.5 km to the south-east, or Cherryville, about 3.7 km to the west, so include both in your alert.
