This morning the GSPCA have been chatting to Mr Breban who owns two dogs that have been treated at local vets after potentially consuming rat poison.

Packets of a very strong supposedly licensed rat poison have been found in fields in the Forest area behind the airport.

The GSPCA are asking all dog owners to take great care in the fields between Rue des Agneaux, La Villiaze and Route des Blicqs.

The two dogs owned by Mr and Mrs Breban are a 10 month old female lab and a 5 year old female beagle.

The beagle is recovering well and the labrador is still being cared for after the incident.

Guernsey Police have been informed as is the States Vet.

Packets of a blue/grey putty substance have been found in the area and all are concerned for animals that use these fields.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We are all very concerned at the GSPCA about the incident that has occurred this week in the Forest of suspected rat poison dumped in a field."

"Two dogs have already been rushed to the vets after potentially consuming the poison and we are asking all dog owners to take great care in the area."

"If you think your dog has eaten anything potentially dangerous please do call your vet immediately."

"The best advice we can currently give is to avoid the area where possible, but if this isn't possible please ensure you keep your dogs on a lead at all times in the area."

Mr Breban owner of the two dogs said "Our lab is still unwell and our beagle is recovering after eating suspected rat poison dumped in fields where we exercise them behind the airport."

"We have found packets of what looks like licensed rat poison which is a blue/grey putty substance."

"We are worried for the other animals in the area and dog walkers that use the fields as the grass is long and we don't know how much is in the area."

"The field would normally be cut for hay to feed horses but with the poison in the field we now can't risk using it."

Mrs Breban has also put a warning on social media saying "My dog is currently at the vets with suspected rat poisoning and we have found three lots of rodenticide in two separate fields."

"Our fields are behind the airport so please be aware if you live/walk your dogs in this area."

"It is a blue/grey putty type substance."

If you have any information about the substance being dumped please do call the Guernsey Police on 01481 725111
