Spring Time Pet Safety !!!!!

Just a few things to watch out for in your yard this time of year

~ snail bait, gopher bait, cocoa landscape material

~ walnuts, peach pits

~ pools & spas

~ ponds/pond chemicals

~ rat bait

~ Be careful using topical flea products.  Make sure you are using it properly & best to go with a brand recommended by your veterinarian

~  Foxtails & other lovely little weeds that can get in your pets eyes & nose

~  Fertilizers, weed killers

~  Get rid of any standing water.  You don't want a mosquito breeding ground, as heartworm is transmitted by infected mosquitos.

~  Check fences for loose boards, nails etc.  You don't want you dog getting out or injuring themselves.

I hope that you find this helpful & hopefully helps prevent some of these accidents from happening.  Working at a 24hr emergency veterinary hospital, I have seen all of these things occur.   I will add more info as requests/questions come in.  Take care.....
