A still from a video of Pringle posted on Dixon and Young's Facebook page.

Dixon and Young Vets in Ollerton have seen two cases this month.

A veterinary practice in Ollerton, Newark, is warning dog owners to be vigilant on walks, after two dogs in the local area ingested cannabis on a walk, and came in for treatment, as reported by BBC News.

One of the dogs who ingested the drug was a dog belonging to veterinary surgeon Janice Dixon, co-owner of the practice. Pringle, who is a border terrier, was walking along a bridlepath with Janice, but became 'uncoordinated and lifeless' at home.

In a statement on Facebook, Dixon and Young Veterinary Surgery said: “In the last four days we’ve had two dogs present to us with neurological signs following ingestion of marijuana on a walk, one of which was our very own Pringle!

“Please keep an eye on what your dogs are sniffing at or nibbling when out walking. After Pringle became unwell, we retraced our steps to find what she’d eaten.”

Janice told BBC News: "I found a discarded carrier bag, which was half-full of cannabis. It actually relieved me, because I thought I had a dying dog. 

“It was quite frightening at the time when you don't know what's wrong.”
Dixon and Young confirmed on its Facebook page that both dogs had made a full recovery.
