Friends mum had put down a barrel load of pellets and let Jess into
The garden, she thought they looked tasty and ate them, above is slightly incorrect, she ate the pellets on Sunday night, been with the vet since then, friend got called from work today to go to the vets and be with her dog as she was put out of her suffering :( so sad, my friend has no kids and Jess was her baby x

That's very sad. I rarely use them, and when I do I put them under a stone or something. They can affect wild life aswell.

How awful. Thanks for the warning, I have a couple of cats, 1 of which will eat anything if he can.

So very sorry to read this,M.doodle.. your friend must be devastated...even if you do resort to pellets..no way do you need so many!..a sparse sprinkling is all you need,and preferably hidden under something,like Hywel does..

I have used the Slug gone for about four years now,Pam..it only changed it's name a couple of years ago..and I think its good..and as it's a fertiliser as well,dual purpose,and totally organic..no slug or snail damage at all,on my Delphiniums,since..which they love...
