Educational Overview
Snail & Slug Bait Poisoning
Snail and slug baits often contain ingredients that can be harmful to pets if eaten, especially products with metaldehyde or similar compounds. Pets may be attracted to the smell or taste of these baits, making accidental ingestion more likely. Signs of possible poisoning can include restlessness, drooling, vomiting, or sudden changes in coordination or behavior. Because these signs can progress quickly and overlap with other conditions, any concern about exposure should be assessed by a veterinarian immediately.

Educational Purposes
(Dogs & Cats)
Snail and slug baits are commonly used in gardens, but many of these products contain chemicals that can be highly dangerous to pets if eaten. Dogs are particularly at risk because the pellets often have a flavour coating that makes them appealing.
Pets may ingest bait directly, or accidentally consume a poisoned snail or slug, making awareness extremely important.
Why Snail and Slug Baits Are a Concern
Most commercial baits contain one of the following:
• Metaldehyde
A fast-acting compound that can severely affect the nervous system if consumed.
• Methiocarb
A carbamate chemical that can cause overstimulation of the body.
• Iron EDTA / Sodium Ferric EDTA
Marketed as “safer,” but still capable of causing illness in dogs and cats, especially in large amounts.
How Pets May Be Exposed
-
Eating pellets directly from the ground
-
Ingesting bait mixed into soil
-
Eating a poisoned snail or slug
-
Licking paws after walking through treated areas
-
Consuming bait accidentally spilled during application
Pets with strong scavenging instincts or outdoor access are at higher risk.

Why Prompt Veterinary Care Matters

If a pet is suspected of eating bait or a poisoned snail/slug, immediate veterinary attention is essential.

-
Choose pet-safe alternatives (beer traps, copper tape, decoy plants).
-
Keep pets indoors when applying any garden products.
-
Store all garden chemicals securely and out of reach.

Monitor yard areas after rain, as pellets become more accessible.
-
Remove snails/slugs promptly from high-risk zones.
