Dog poisoning is on the increase

Warning from ADT, there are increased cases of dog poisoning, should you find your dog poisoned, but still alive, rush him IMMEDIATELY to your local emergency Vet.

Report your deliberately poisoned pet to the Police. Open a case. If incidents are reported, patterns could be established, and this may contribute to the arrest of criminals.

What to do if your dog is poisoned:

Once poisoned, dogs foam at the mouth and their pupils constrict to pin point size and severe vomiting and diarrhoea can occur and they can also experience stomach cramps.

Time is of the essence. Do not attempt to force your dog to vomit, as corrosive poisons can cause more damage coming back up.
Contact your nearest vet or emergency vet and take your animal to them as soon as possible.

If you have more than one dog, take them all at the same time to get examined as they may also have ingested the poison.

Dog poisoning is often an indication that criminals are trying to gain access to your home, so be especially vigilant in the days following a dog poisoning, as this is when criminals will attempt to gain entry.
Report the poisoning to the police. Insist on opening a case of malicious damage to property and cruelty to animals.
The SPCA also needs to be notified as they compile statistical data on dog poisoning.

Keep your animals inside at night; they are more likely to alert you of activity and will be more protected against the poisoning.
Regularly check your garden for foreign material.
