Anticoagulant rodenticide toxcity is most often seen in dogs, due to their scavenging behaviour and the fact they appear to find rodent bait especially palatable. Farm dogs are particularly at risk since rodenticides are frequently used in this environment and many dogs are allowed to roam freely outdoors. In the cat, toxicity usually occurs via the consumption of poisoned rodents. Anticoagulant rodenticide toxicity has also been reported in the pig, and also in barn owls who have consumed rodents poisoned with second generation anticoagulant rodenticides<sup>6</sup>.
