The local branches of Vets4Pets have posted a warning online following the “heart-breaking” deaths of two dogs and a reported attempt to poison another dog which was being walked on Callendar Park.
Vets4Pets staff believe these are incidents of either deliberate or accidental poisoning of dogs.
Their online post stated: “We really need to make people aware of concerning issues people have come across when walking their dogs in either Callander Park or Polmont woods lately.
We have sadly had two dogs collapse, became lethargic, seizure, and sadly passed away after walks at Polmont woods. We believe there is someone possibly putting things in this area that are poisonous and dogs are finding and eating.
There is also sights of fish being found floating in the reservoir by Polmont woods, so advice would be do not let your dog swim in there until this has been rectified. Also last week we had an emergency admission come in after walking her dog at Callander Park.
She notice someone giving her dog some treats, then noticed a bright green capsule handed to her dog which he ate. We then had to make this dog sick to bring this up.
We have this in a container and potentially going to get this tested to see what this could be. Scary thought is, if this owner hadn’t noticed, this could have been a different story and he might not have been so lucky.
