WARNING TO DOG OWNERS - white oily substance found on Vazon could pose a danger to dogs

Submitted by Steve on 19:20, 1st Jun, 2015 | 0

The GSPCA have been informed this evening that the Environment Department is warning dog owners to keep pets away from any white substance they may find on local beaches.

Small lumps of a white waxy substance have been found today at Vazon Bay by the States Works beach cleaning team. Lumps of a similar substance found in south Devon and Cornwall in December 2014 were identified as degraded edible oil or fat.

If the substance is degraded oil, whilst not harmful to human health, it could pose a danger to dogs if it has gone rancid.

Yesterday she was spotted at Port Soif near the kiosk and late Saturday near Rousse kiosk.

On Friday and Saturday GSPCA team members were out in the area talking to those walking around Grandes Rocques, Cobo and Port Soif.

Today a team went out to Rousse and with the help of members of the public we got very close on a number of occasions, but sadly despite over 2 hours of tracking her she managed to evade the search party
