A body has been found in a creek in Victoria's east, a day after police raised concerns about a person and their dog being swept away.

Officers mounted a search for the person and the small white dog on Monday after they were seen falling into Traralgon Creek in the early hours of the morning.

The pair had been walking along Whittakers Road when the person appeared to roll up their trousers near the creek's swollen bank about 5.30am.

Officers on Tuesday morning found a body in the creek, not far from where the person was seen with their dog.

The person is yet to be identified, and the dog has not been found, police said.

Officers cordoned off the area ahead of recovering the body.
