Gardaí have received reports of dogs becoming ill after ingesting poisoned substances while wakling on the routes between Ardnacrusha and Clonlara.
The ESB, who's responsible for the walkways, have errected warning signs and dog owners are being urged to exercise caution and keep their dog leashed.
Similar issues have arisen in the area in recent times – two years ago, post mortems on a number of dogs who had walked the same routes revealed they had ingested a poisoned substance.
