Terriers and rat poison

[Jack.308 40]

If i set my dog onto rats that are been fed poison is that a bad move? Will the poison travel through the rat to my dog or will it be okay? If she does get hold a rat that is dying from poison what is the best thing to do? Any advice will help thanks

Why risk it, let the poison kill em!

secondary piosoning is pritty much a thing of the past with the new rodenticides, the dog would have to be eating loads of dead rats over a number of days. the same with direct poisoning unless it was eating poison over a number of days.

Like Paul said your dog would have to eat a load of dead rat's to be affected..i have kill many many rat's over the year's some poisoned and some not..crack on and get them killed with the terrier aslong as the dog is not eating them you will be fine..

Somebody must have been killing rats with strichnine then.......wouldn't happen with your off the shelf poisons nowadays.....
