A Friendswood dog day care facility is offering a reward for information on any suspects who covered an outside play area with rat poison pellets.

Stephanie Prichard, manager of Gimmie A Bark at 103 Shadewell Lane, said Tuesday, Dec. 6, that her dog was one of four poisoned the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 30 when the dogs were let out to play.

The facility closed at 7 p.m. Nov. 29, and numerous green pellets were strewn about the yard sometime between that time and the following morning, Prichard said.

All 10 dogs present at the facility on Nov. 30 were taken to the Family Animal Hospital of Friendswood across the street, where veterinary staff induced vomiting to discover which dogs were poisoned.

Prichard's dog, Wally, ingested the most poison, she said. Three other dogs had eaten a small amount of poison.

The dogs are taking vitamin K supplements to combat the effects of the rat poison and will be under observation for a few weeks, Prichard said.

Rene Mclauglin, the owner of Gimmie A Bark, has filed a report with the Friendswood Police Department.

A reward of $5,500, with contributions from local businesses and clients of Gimmie A Bark, is being offered for information that leads to arrest. Anyone with information is asked to call the Friendswood Police Department at 281-996-3300.
