The police were called out after a dog owner reported the death of his dog at the boarding kennel on Friday. Investigations on site ultimately revealed that eleven dogs had died, as the cantonal police announced on Monday. Another dog, which showed symptoms of poisoning, survived.

According to the cantonal police, all of the dogs were on vacation at the boarding kennel. It is still unclear where the poisoning may have come from. A laboratory is now carrying out a toxicology test on the samples provided.
