RSPCA warn pet owners to be vigilant after spate of incidents on Bryn Glas Road
Pet owners are being urged to be vigilant after six animals on the same road are believed to have been poisoned.
RSPCA Cymru has issued a warning after five cats and a dog living in three properties on Bryn Glas Road in Holyhead have fallen ill.
One cat has had to be put to sleep on March 12 after a veterinary inspection confirmed she had been poisoned by anti-freeze.
The animal charity is now appealing for information about the suspected poisonings and say they are “concerned” that six incidents have been reported in the same area in February and March.
It is not known if the poisonings have been the result of a deliberate act or if they were accidental but pet owners are being warned to be extra cautious.
RSPCA Inspector Andrew Broadbent said: “Our thoughts are with the owners of pets who have been poisoned in this way.
“It is not known whether these poisonings were intentional or deliberate - but to see so many in the same area of Holyhead is particularly concerning, and we’re reminding people to be cautious."
He added: “At this time, it’s important local pet owners are vigilant. If a poisoning is suspected, people should remain calm, remove their pet from any suspected source of poison, and contact a vet immediately.
“Should anyone have any information linked to reported pet poisonings on Bryn Glas Road, they are urged to contact the RSPCA inspectorate appeal line on 0300 123 8018. Calls are treated in confidence.”
