A pest control firm has been given a warning after a dog died from eating poisoned bread meant to kill pigeons.

The 10-year-old pet was rushed to see a vet but died on the way.
West Coast Town Council told The Straits Times it had warned its pest control contractor to comply with safety procedures.
