Malicious Poisoning in Illinois

A dog groomer in Bloomington, Illinois is being charged with intimidation, criminal damage to property and cruelty to animals, after being accused of throwing meat tainted with antifreeze into a competing business’s outdoor kennel.

One would hope that someone who grooms and cares for dogs just wouldn’t have it in them to harm a dog for financial gain. One would also expect that if you left your dog at a grooming parlor for a shampoo and stylecut that they would come home to you unharmed. It’ll be interesting to see how the case pans out. However this whole issue suggests that there’s the potential for your dog to be poisoned anywhere really, even when you think they are safe.

The really bad thing is, antifreeze is deadly! For further information on the effects of antifreeze on your dog, as well as details on many other common household poisons, you can purchase my ebook Dog Poisons In The Home here.
