March 20-26 is National Pet Poison Prevention Week with the objective of educating the public about potentially harmful substances commonly found in the home. The veterinarians at Pet Poison Helpline urge everyone to remember our four-legged family members during this week, as they are among the most vulnerable.
With today being the 1st day of spring, be aware of tulips, azaleas and cocoa mulch in the garden - they can be toxic to dogs. Also, household cleaning products, anti-freeze, raisins, chocolate, and other plant life.
If you need immediate help for an ailing animal call Pet Poison Hotline: 800-213-6680. There is an incident-fee service-charge applicable for their services.
