Anyone that takes a dog to a show should take many precautions. Dogs can pass around contagious viruses and they can pick up things off the ground, like pills, that have been accidentally dropped. Another thing I recommend is to never buy bait at a dog show. It is best to make and take your own dog bait.
It is sad that those dogs were poisoned at that show. It does not really explain if it was intentional or accidental. It could be that the chemical used on the lawn was a commercial insecticide.
