Loughshore dog deaths cause still unknown as council lifts water sports ban and walkers warning

The council has lifted warnings to dog walkers and a ban on water sports around Antrim's Loughshore area after investigations into the deaths of three family pets concluded without a cause being established.

Two dogs died suddenly after walking in the area in May within an hour of becoming sick. Reports to the council of the deaths triggered an investigation by Antrim and Newtownabbey Council and the NI Environment Agency into potential toxins in the water. The death of the third dog that had occurred on March 22, was reported to the council two months later. And DogsLive understands a fourth family also lost their dog in similar circumstances in Spring.
