Dog ate pipefish.

    I had the dogs out a Derrymore beach today (just outside Tralee) and as there is hardly ever anyone there I let them run loose. They love trying to catch the seagulls and have a fine good run for themselves.

    However I noticed that the female had caught something which was wiggling in its mouth. I had never seen this type of fish before but thanks to the internet I now know it was a pipefish. I was just wondering if they are any harm to dogs? :confused:

    Moved. Like Silverfish, I'm kinda curious as to how you managed to post that in Classic Cars too, though I suppose that could drag things off-topic somewhat.

    Pretty sure pipefish aren't poisonous. Some of the prettier ones are sometimes kept as pets, so this thread's a real double-whammy of animal & pet goodness (psst. I think I may have got it back on-target).

    Nothing wrong with a pipefish at all,they may looka bit odd but they're in no way dangerous.A weeverfish would be a different kettle of fish(:o ) but you'd have soon found out if the dog had been stung,he'd be yelping like mad and you'd never have been able to calm him down.Nice bit of protein that pipefish and fresh too!!
