A vet has urged dog owners to remain especially vigilant when getting the barbecue out this summer, warning that this could pose a "toxic" health threat to pets.

At-home barbecue chefs need to be able to balance the fun with being careful, however, especially when there are dogs running around underfoot looking for fallen scraps.
