Merritt RCMP and the City of Merritt say that neither has found evidence that a dog was poisoned.
A radio report earlier this week warned locals that rat poison had been left at the City’s dog park and rat poison had killed a dog.
However, Merritt RCMP Const. Tracy Dunsmore says no one has contacted the police about a dead or sick dog.
City of Merritt bylaw services officer Bob Davis says that he has checked the dog park several times and found no rat poison. In addition, neither veterinarian in town was aware of any poisoning, he says.
“Where was this dog? Where was this owner? How was the toxicology determined and who was the vet who looked at the dog?”
Dunsmore says anyone with concrete information should call the RCMP.
“We need to find out whose dog it was and what the situation was, ‘cause we don’t know.”
