Weedkiller worry

A parishioner writes:

"I was at the vets with my dog which had somehow got poisoned. Had ingested something on the street.  I accosted two chaps next day spraying tufts of grass on the pavements. They were using ROUNDUP but denied it was bad for dogs.. What they can get is much stronger than we can get. Dogs will lick their paws and down it goes. She has recovered although her gut is very delicate now.  Should we be questioning what the Local Authority is doing ? The Vets say Roundup is a killer.  I am warning anyone I meet with a dog to wash it's feet when they get home."

I've asked for PC and CBC usage to be checked and for details of any risk assessment on using roundup. Hope everyone's dogs are are OK.
