Update: Dog Poisonings in Southie

Early last week we posted information on Facebook and emails about alleged dog poisonings in Southie.

It appears that the dog poisonings may have, in fact, been due to natural causes and that poison that was allegedly found in Farragut Park may be due to placed rat traps near the harbor.  The police are analyzing one sample of alleged poison and the results have not been reported yet.

And although it appears that this time the alleged poisonings may not be the case, it is important for your dog to learn to "drop it" and "leave it" in the event your dog picks up something that may be dangerous.

In the course of Fenway Bark being open for two years clients have reported their dogs eating everything from socks to baby toys to marijuana.  

Teaching your dog to drop it or leave it may save your dog's life and avoid needless surgery.

PS - Please be careful at Thanksgiving that your dog doesn't eat dangerous turkey bones, chocolate, grapes, garlic, onions, and more.  For a short presentation on foods that are dangerous for your pooch, click here.
