Dog deaths in North Vancouver may be tied to suspected mushroom poisoning: RCMP
VANCOUVER — Dog owners in North Vancouver are being advised to keep their pets on a short leash if they are walking in Cates Park along the shores of Burrard Inlet.
RCMP Sgt. Doug Trousdell says at least two dogs are confirmed to have died after eating what is suspected to have been some type of poisonous mushroom.
Trousdell says police have received reports in the last month about several dogs becoming ill after visiting the park, and a third dog may also have died, although that is still being confirmed.
He says the BC SPCA and District of North Vancouver parks department are also investigating.
