First steps if you lose your dog in Limerick

  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 Shannon, 0.3 km away, and across Mungret Park, 4.3 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

    Ring the 10 vet practices within 5 km and the local police without delay, and ask them 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 in Shelbourne Park, 1 km away, and Baggott Estate Nature Park, 1.8 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 Moyross, 2.4 km to the north, and Mungret, 5.3 km to the south-west, in your alert.
