The City urges dog park users to stay alert and remain aware of your pet and physical surroundings after being informed that dogs may have recently come into contact with poisonous materials while at the Avalon Dog Park.  At this time, this has not been confirmed.

The City expresses sincere sympathy to the family that has experienced the loss of their pet. The incident is currently being reviewed, and a park inspection has taken place with nothing out of the ordinary being found.  The matter may be referred to the Saskatoon Police Service for a criminal investigation.  The City is not aware of any similar past incidents occurring at dog parks.

Animal Control Officers and maintenance staff are keeping an eye out for any unusual materials.  The City does not apply rodent or other poisons in our dog parks.

If you spot any unusual materials, maintain a safe distance and contact Animal Services immediately at 306-975-8478.
