Alert for Pet Owners from Rogers Bark Pet Salon

click image to enlarge

Just in from Rogers Bark:

This is an alert for pet owners in the area, specifically those with small dogs.

I received some sad news at the salon yesterday; that one of our clients had eaten squirrel poison on her afternoon walk with her mom and as a result, had to be put down that night. The vet informed her that there were 3 other cases of "squirrel poison ingestions" very similar to hers within the last 30 days. I then called a few other vets in the neighborhood and they also confirmed they have had a handful of cases recently.

Please keep an eye on what your pet is picking up in the neighborhood. Squirrell poison is illegal in addition to being inhumane, and because it is targeted for large rodents, small dogs are extremely vulnerable. The picture below is the closet I could find to what my client described and is something you should keep an eye out for. If you do happen to come across a location with these pellets, please post the cross streets on our facebook page and to everyblock.com so we can keep track of the locations. I am currently waiting to hear back from the Alderman's office to see what other steps can be taken.

This is not a fun issue, but with the support of and information from the neighborhood, we might be able to prevent any more tragic deaths of our pets.

Another great job at Rogers Bark

A big Thank You to Marie at Rogers Bark for taking care of my dog Rock N Roll this afternoon. Rocky is now the cleanest, happiest dog in town!

Due to my camera being in need of replacement/repair, I'll post a great photo from the past with Marie and Rock N Roll at Rogers Bark.

Now Trending on Rogers Park in 1,000 Words

The Bosworth and Jonquil shooting on August 7th, 2011 is the most searched Rogers Park issue this morning. Animal CPR training at Rogers Bark and our theaters are also heavy searches. Paula Basta, who is running for 14th District State Representative, is getting more attention than David Fagus appointed opponent Kelly Cassidy. The now long-defunct Broken Heart of Rogers Park is still on our minds... despite author Craig Gernhardt's flip flop from defending our community to bowing to the Alderman Joe Moore. Our local CAPS meetings are a worthy interest, and photos of CFD Engine 13 have been requested.
