A pet walking and grooming service have issued a warning to dog walkers about a possible chemical which has reportedly killed one dog and left seven others ill.
The Pet Shack warned pet-owners that grassy areas at and around pitches in Renmore area of Galway, Ireland, appeared to have "some kind of pellets" strewn across them.
They also claimed in the post that "seven dogs are sick at the vet and one has sadly passed away".
