Attention, dog owners! Poison bait in Teltow: A new danger?
A worrying incident is currently shaking Teltow in Potsdam-Mittelmark. On Tuesday morning, at 7 a.m., 15-year-old Hanna Bertram (name changed) found her Molosser dog Bärbel, who had eaten a piece of hunting sausage from a rainwater drain. With a courageous effort, Hanna tried to remove the sausage from her dog and took a semicircular, peeled piece from the throat of her beloved four-legged friend. Fortunately, Bärbel was able to be treated quickly, but the incident brings back memories of darker times - such as the death of a dog named Eddi in November 2024 due to rat poison, who was found dead after eating a treat maz-online.de reported.
The neighbor Nicole Kabbeck then informed other dog owners about the possible poison bait in the area via the “Märker” complaint portal. The public order office was called in and is currently examining the slice of sausage in a laboratory. It is suspected that rat poison may have been injected. This terrible discovery is not the first incident of its kind this year: local residents have reported several similar cases, and suspicions are being raised about a dog hater who is not from Teltow.
Vigilant dog owners needed
Dog owners should be particularly careful now. For many people the question remains: How can I protect my dog from such dangers? One option is the Hundimundo website and app, which displays current and past poison bait warnings in the area. Users can view the information via a zoom function and should bookmark the page for quick access to alarm messages. The platform also offers free anti-poison bait training to minimize eating unsecured items.
There is also the Dogorama app, which provides information about the dangers of poison bait and can save dogs' lives. According to dogorama.app, dog owners should immediately put on a muzzle when reported and keep their dog on a short leash or avoid the area. They are often tempting baits that can also attract well-behaved dogs. The app also allows you to set your own warnings, which allows the community to support each other.
Continuing danger to animals
This poison bait problem not only affects beloved pets, but also endangers wild animals. There are also reports of poison bait incidents in Teltow in other popular locations, such as Ruhlsdorfer Platz, Teltower Park and near the police cavalry squadron in Stahnsdorf. Despite the existing danger, anonymous criminal charges against unknown people seem to make little sense, as many dog owners already forego autopsies because they have to pay for them themselves.
Given this alarming situation, it is more important than ever to remain vigilant. Dog owners in and around Teltow should not only monitor current warnings, but also use the options and help available to them. Together, the community can help ensure the safety of furry friends and protect them from these perfidious threats.
