Summer Tips

[MaxJack'sMom]

Summer is almost here (for us in the states, that is), so here are a couple of tips for outside safety.

Insecticides, fertilizers, weed killers, and lawnmower gasoline can be harmful if you pup laps up even a small amount.
Chemical treatments used on grass should be dry before letting your dog walk on it. Make sure you follow all the directions on the products label. If your pup licks the chemicals off its paws, he'll soon have an upset tummy or worse.
Garden plants should not be nibbled. Lily of the Valley, agclea, yew, rhododendron, and kalanchoe can cause heart problems. Rhubarb leaves and shamrock can lead to kidney failure, and sago palms can damage the liver.

So be careful when outside with your pup.

We have our yard professional treated every two months and they always put a warning sign in the yard and on the bill they insert in the door reminding of the dangers that it can have on pets. We water it in right away and then we don't allow them out until it dries!!! That stuff can really make a pup sick quick!!!
