Some desperate dog owners have turned to thievery, robbing a pet supply store in Cranbourne early on the morning of Sunday 28 May.
Police believe a person or people forced their way into the store on Sladen Street about 1.30am by smashing the front window.
The thieves stole a large amount of flea and worming treatments, as well as some anti-barking collars.
The theft follows an attempted burglary of the same store the night before, and police believe the two incidents are linked.
Anyone with information urged to contact Detective Senior Constable Angela Butler at Casey Crime Investigation Unit on 9705 3114 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
