First steps if you lose your dog in Kilkenny

  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 Breagagh River, 600 metres away, then towards Millennium Wood, roughly 5 km from the centre.

  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

    Ring the 4 vet practices within 5 km first, then the local police, so a found dog gets help without delay.

  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 walkers in Kilkenny Castle Park at the centre and Nore Linear Park, 800 metres out, 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

    A dog may already have reached Maddockstown, 4.5 km to the south-east, or Rathaleek, 5.1 km to the south-west, so list both.
