DOG owners have been warned about where they walk their pets after at least two dogs fell ill after picking up a toxic substance in the Melksham area.
The dogs were poisoned while being walked in fields local to Atworth.
A Melksham Police spokesman said: "I would advise that dog owners keep their dog on the lead and on the public footpaths until the source of the toxin is identified and dealt with."
