A three-year-old dog has died after eating what's thought to be palm oil on a Welsh beach. Pembrokeshire Council has issued a warning to dog owners visiting the county after the pet ate what's thought to be a dark coloured palm oil berg last week.
The council said it received reports of the sad incident on Newgale beach on June 8. Palm oil is often seen in dark, yellowish or white waxy blocks. It is not harmful to humans but can be fatal to pets.
The council said: "People visiting the Pembrokeshire coastline are being asked to be vigilant to the potential of palm oil washing ashore. It follows the death of a three year-old dog that is believed to have eaten palm oil at Newgale beach.
