Find Information on Dog Registration, How to Find Lost Dogs and Pet Care Help

There’s always a first time for everything, finding a lost dog is not exceptional. The question in today’s Dog Breeds - reiVRE Hot Pulse is – "What should you do to trace a missing dog?"

Owning a dog is a responsibility. Your dog needs to be kept in good health and requires suitable identification if lost.

Dog registration

You may wish to join a dog breed’s registration scheme whereby your dog will be tattooed, tagged or micro-chipped with a number against which owner details are recorded. This helps to trace lost or stray pets.

The majority of vets now provide such a service.

Lost dogs

Your dog must wear a tag by law when out in a public place. This will help ensure that your dog can be returned to you if lost.

If your local council finds your dog, they will often return it to you without issuing a charge. However, this will only be possible if it is tattooed, is wearing a tag or is micro-chipped.

If your council find a stray dog, and they cannot trace the owner, the dog will be taken to a dog carrier’s home, who will keep the dog at your expense. If you do not collect your dog within seven days, you may lose the right to reclaim it, and efforts will be made to re-home it.

Enquiring about a missing dog

Your council will keep records of dogs which have been found straying. You should also contact the local animal shelters to see if your dog has been handed in.

Pet care help

If you experience problems looking after your dog, it is important that you use the various animal support networks and charities available.

For example, if you go into hospital you will need someone to look after your dog.

The most common option is to ask a family member, good neighbour or friend to help. If not, for cats and dogs, you may need to contact a local kennel or cattery. You should be able to find details of these in your local telephone directory.

You could ask your local veterinary surgeon or the local Dog Warden to suggest some options.

The following organisation may be able to help:

The Cinnamon Trust - a charitable organisation (based in Cornwall) who have 4,500 registered volunteers across the UK. They may be able to help you find pet care if you have to go into hospital

You can also contact the Blue Cross or the RSPCA if you are experiencing problems paying veterinary fees.

If you feel you can no longer look after your dog, you must contact a local animal shelter or the RSPCA who will make every effort to find a new home for your dog or pet.

For more information and advice on the welfare and care dogs and cats you can also contact Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.
