Police are investigating after several residents of a Denton County community reported their dogs getting sick.
Jason Lanemann, who lives in the Country Lakes community of Argyle, received a letter from his homeowners association Thursday warning him about alleged dog poisonings happening in the neighborhood.
The Argyle Police Department said there have been two dogs that have died since mid-January with symptoms that could be related to ingesting poison.
In one of the cases, the owner said his dog roamed the neighborhood freely.
A veternarian police spoke with said that rat poisoning can be fairly common in dogs as they kill and eat rats that have ingested poison.
Police interviewed multiple people whose dogs have been sick or died in the past month, but none had similar symptoms, according to police.
Police calmed residents nerves Friday, stating, "There is no indication that random poisoning of animals is occurring."
