materials are in the home and outdoors so we can prevent any accidents from happening.

When we are feeling ill or have health issue we are usually given medication to control or lessen the discomfort. The some medications that make us feel better can have the exact opposite effect on pets. Headache and pain medication can cause serious problems for your pets including death. The only medication your pet should be given should be coming from the veterinarian.

Every pet can benefit from some time being outside. A park or even a yard can allow a pet to run and exercise and get some much needed activity. When you do have your pet outside be sure to check the area for possible dangers. Open trashcans or garage can be a possible source or toxic materials. Things such as antifreeze, rat bait and lawn chemicals can be quite hazardous.
