WSPCA Investigates Reports Of Dogs Becoming Sick After Beach Visits In Wexford

The WSPCA has raised concerns following reports of dogs becoming ill with gastroenteritis after visiting an unnamed beach in County Wexford.

The reports emerged on social media earlier this week, with one local veterinary practice also reporting that it had seen a dog which became sick after visiting a beach in the county.

However, the exact location of the reported incidents has not been established.

Barbara Bent of the WSPCA says the organisation carried out its own enquiries after becoming aware of the reports but has been unable to obtain any further details.

She says the reports appeared to circulate for a few days before dying down, with no further information coming to light.

The WSPCA also contacted the local authority, but it had not received any reports of the incidents.

Ms Bent says the hope is that the cases were isolated and that there will be no further dogs affected.
