⚠️ DOG OWNERS IN / AROUND MELTHAM ⚠️
There have now been repeated reports of piles of sausages found around the Deer Hill area, suspected to be laced/stuffed with slug pellets or another toxic substance.
Several dogs have reportedly been hospitalised after walks in the area.
Please keep dogs on leads, stay vigilant, and watch closely for anything they may try to eat while out walking.
If you spot anything suspicious:
• Do not touch with bare hands
• Keep other walkers and dogs away
• Report it to the police and local council
• If your dog may have eaten something, contact a vet immediately
Please share to help keep local dogs safe 🐾
