Poison Alert to All Pet Owners
This could save your dog’s or cat’s life
This is KOA who died, tragically, at 22 months old from ingesting Rat Poison at a neighbor’s house. Please be aware that Rat Poison ingested WILL KILL your dog or cat if not detected and treated immediately. KOA was a playful little Sheltie who loved his food, as most dogs do. One night in April, a few weeks after going to play with the neighbor’s dog, Koa began coughing in the middle of the night and was having difficulty breathing. Within 24 hours he passed away even with Vet intervention to save his life. It was too late. There were no signs for so many days and we had no idea what had happened. The tests showed positive for Rat Poison. Please do not put open containers with Pat Poison in your yard or anywhere a pet may be able to get to it. Rat Poison is attractive to pets and they will ingest it if they have the opportunity. Please make SURE your dog’s or cat’s environment is a safe one. We thought our neighbor’s yard was safe, after all they too owned a dog. It was NOT safe and we lost our little Koa so suddenly and forever. Make sure this cannot happen to your beloved pet. It has been the hardest thing I have had to cope with so far in my life. I hope this tribute can save others. I loved my little KOA
and miss him every day.
