SNAIL BAIT FULL
This often starts with vomiting, diarrhea and drooling before progressing to tremors and full on seizures.
Just what symptoms does it cause? well, It causes what some know as "shake and bake" syndrome.
So that's how deadly slug and snail bait can be. Make no mistake, it doesn't matter how big your pet is, it only takes a really small amount of slug or snail bait to kill them. This is about a tablespoon, not much!Ī typical pack of slug and snail bait weighs around 400g, enough to kill a pack of dogs weighing total of 200 kg or 440lb. A 20lb or 9kg dog would only need to eat about 18g. So just how poisonous is slug bait for dogs and cats? The short answer is very. If these snail baits contain metaldehyde and our cat or dog eats them the effects will still be the same. Don't be fooled though, our pets eat all kinds of terrible tasting things. This is often because they have something added to them to make them taste very bitter or unpleasant. Some metaldehyde based slug and snail baits may claim to be safer for pets or of a low toxicity. One of the reasons for this is that metaldehyde based slug and snail baits can actually taste pretty good and so our dogs and cats may actually seek it out and eat all they come across.
They are pretty effective against slugs and snails but also incredibly effective against dogs and cats. They are generally in pellet form (although can be a liquid or a powder) and bright blue in color. Some of the most popular contain the chemical metaldehyde mixed with bran or wheat. There are lots of different slug and snail bait types on the market.
