little Yorkie "Tiffany" (Scarlett's sister) got ahold of a package of
snail bait and was fatally poisoned.
Brands of snail bait that contain metaldehyde are highly
poisonous to dogs and are also very palatable so dogs will
readily consume the product.
I can't stress enough how important it is to go through your
house and identify all of the toxic and harmful substances that
are stored in various places and move them to one central
location totally inaccessible to your pets.
In fact, I discovered a box of snail bait on the shelf in our storage
room right after I found out Tiffany was poisoned....another
tragedy waiting to happen! I immediately removed it to the
outdoor shed as all it would have taken was a careless bump or
a cat climbing on the shelf to knock it over and my dogs could
have been poisoned too.
