‘Life-threatening’: Grim warning to pet owners after poison allegedly found in food at Sydney park

Pet owners have been issued a warning following a grim find in a Sydney park with the potential to threaten the lives of furry friends.

Dog owners have been warned to remain alert after pieces of sausage containing “life-threatening” poison were allegedly found at a park in Sydney’s inner-west.

Reports of sausage pieces containing rat or snail poison in Weekley Park in Stanmore have prompted a warning to dog owners.

“These substances are highly toxic and can be life-threatening for dogs,” the University Veterinary Teaching Hospital Sydney have warned.

Dog owners have been urged to supervise their pets closely at the park. Picture: Facebook.

“If your dog has visited this area recently and eaten anything suspicious, contact your vet immediately.

“If you’re taking your pet to Weekley Park, stay vigilant: keep them on a leash, supervise them closely, and prevent them from eating anything off the ground.”

One commenter took the chance to air their anger over the reports, asking “What low-life does this?”
