“Its just been reported that there is Palm Oil at Elberry Cove in Paignton so please be aware when walking your dogs.

“If you have any concerns or if you have spotted Palm Oil anywhere else then please let us know. Thankyou,”

Palm oil is grown all over the world and is used in food, soaps, shampoos and biofuels. It is not dangerous to humans but can be to dogs.

Recent reports suggest the oil becomes glue-like when dogs eat it and it gets lodged throughout their body and leads to difficulty breathing.

The high toxin count also has damaging effects on the dog’s health and leads to vomiting and diarrhoea.
