First steps if you lose your dog in Laytown

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 Nanny, 500 metres from the centre, and the Boyne, 4.4 km away, two river corridors a dog can follow for some distance.
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
Ask people not to chase or shout — a frightened dog runs. Crouch down, avoid eye contact and call calmly.
4
Leave something carrying your scent, plus water, where he went missing, and check back regularly.
5
Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.
Tip from locals
Include Julianstown, 3.2 km to the west, and Gormanston, 4.6 km to the south, in your alert, since a dog may already have reached them.
