Dog suffers marijuana poisoning after walk in Zandvoort

A dog required veterinary treatment in Zandvoort after suspected marijuana poisoning likely caused by consuming contaminated waste or discarded items during a walk. Local veterinarians warned pet owners about the risks of toxic ingestion and highlighted the common symptoms of drug poisoning in animals.

A dog has been treated at the Dieren Dokters Zandvoort veterinary clinic after suffering from suspected marijuana poisoning. The incident occurred following a walk near the Boulevard Paulus Loot in Zandvoort, where the animal is believed to have ingested a toxic substance. Veterinarians noted that the dog was recovering after receiving treatment, though it required time to sleep off the effects of the drug.

Experts from the clinic explained that dogs are frequently attracted to the scent of human excrement containing drug residues, or they may consume discarded food and packaging that poses a severe health risk. Common symptoms of marijuana intoxication in dogs include wobbling, dilated pupils, drooling, vomiting, tremors, and lethargy. While most animals recover, severe cases can lead to unconsciousness or a coma. Pet owners are advised to remain vigilant during walks to prevent accidental ingestion of hazardous materials.
