The Scottish SPCA has warned dog owners in the north-east to be vigilant after peanut butter laced with broken glass was found in Aberdeen.
The animal welfare charity was alerted by a dog owner who found the harmful foodstuff in the back garden of their tenement flat on Loirston Place in Aberdeen on January 13.
Scottish SPCA inspector Fiona McKenzie said: “We are thankful the peanut butter was found by a member of the public before an animal got hurt.
“The person who contacted us had discovered the mixture spread on the path in their shared garden.
“It was full of crushed up pieces of broken glass, which could have done serious damage to any animal that ingested them.
“It is a criminal offence to deliberately attempt to harm or kill an animal.
“We would urge all pet owners and residents in the area to be vigilant and to report anything suspicious to our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
