The RSPCA has issued an urgent warning to dog owners after dangerous tablets were found in a Newcastle park.
A dog lover alerted the RSPCA Newcastle and North Northumberland Branch after dozens of naproxen tablets (see picture) were dropped on pavements and grassed areas in parkland at the Greenway in the Chapel Park area of the city. Dozens of the Naproxen tablets, a type of painkiller, were found on the pavements and grassy areas of the park which has worried local pet owners who fear their animals might swallow the drugs.
The woman who contacted the RSPCA said the incidents have been occurring on “almost a daily basis” over the last three weeks, they said. Local pet owners are now said to be worried their animals might swallow the drugs.
