Ah, Fall - there's nothing like crisp, cool air, the first
months of school and luscious foliage to get you excited for the changing
seasons. Your pet is probably welcoming the break from hot, sticky weather too!
But pet parents, beware—fall is also a
time of lurking dangers for our furry friends.
Here are some tips to keep your pet safe and healthy over the coming
months.
Rodent protection and removal often requires the use of
pesticides that may be harmful to your pet.
If you must use these products, do so with extreme caution and put them
in places inaccessible to your pets.
Make sure that your children keep their school supplies away
from curious pets. Ingesting things like
glue sticks, pens, and magic markers can be harmful to any creature’s digestive
system.
Fall and spring and are mushroom seasons. While 99% of
mushrooms have little or no toxicity, the 1% that are highly toxic can cause
life-threatening problems in pets.
Autumn is the season when snakes who are preparing for
hibernation may be particularly “grumpy,” increasing the possibility of severe
bites to those unlucky pups who find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong
time.
Just a few tips for a healthier, safer 4-legged companion
