We just had Stevie (he’s with us six weeks now rehomed from Ashtown) to the vet for his second vaccine and during our chat with the vet he said there had been quite a few recent cases of rat poisioning in dogs. A few months ago there was a rat spotted in our neighbours garden. We had environmental health out, their only solution was rat poison, they have you sign a disclaimer should your pet ingest it to cover themselves legally. Although they lay it out of reach we just wouldn’t chance it, nor would our neighbour. Luckily enough after weeks of baiting traps under the shed we caught it. The guy told us there has been a rapid surge in rat populations of late, perhaps the council are laying poison in parks to combat it. Be on the look out. Our vet said they have a antidote but dogs must be treated asap
