What to do if you lose your dog or cat
• Dogs found straying
without an identity disc/collar or microchip will
be removed by the local dog warden and taken to the
pound. They will generally be kept for five days so make sure
you inform the warden straight away if your dog is missing.
Stay in touch every day to check if your dog has been picked
up. You can contact the Mullingar Dog Pound on 044 9343934 and
leave a detailed message.
• Inform your local Garda Station giving them a
detailed description of your dog or cat, when & where
he/she went missing.
• Check with your local SPCA & Veterinary
Surgeries
.
• Contact Shannonside FM. They will read out a description of your
pet with contact details on their lost & found section aired daily
at 6.20pm. You can phone them on number of radio station.
• Put posters up with picture of your pet plus contact details in
your local shop & vets.
Note
Having your dog or cat microchipped or
placing an ID tag on their collar can help you find a lost pet
quickly and easily!
