 Hello Friend,
Happy Memorial Day to those of you in the U.S.
Here in Canada it's one of those usual back to work days :-(

Holiday Safety Tips
----------------------------------------------
Now is a great time to review some common sense pet saftey tips. Many of us are bringing our pets with us, so keep some of these in mind:
1. ID- make sure that your dogs and cats are PROPERLY identified if they EVER go missing. I recently had this with Jessie ( newish dog), who left through the woods yesterday in hot pursuit of something. Today he's getting a NEW ID tag!
2. The vehicle- DON'T leave your pet alone, especially in the heat. Heat stroke is very serious and can happen fast.
3. Common toxins- this time of year think about plants, batteries, antifreeze, and ALL of that medication lying around ( keep it all away from your pets)
4. Flea/tick treatment. Use alternatives when possible. One of the MORE common reasons to call poison control is with pets having SERIOUS side effects to these topical flea products.
5. Water- BE careful. Currently in my area the rivers are running FAST and VERY HIGH. Keep your dog out of them, and in general exercise caution..
6. Be PREPARED for an emergency. I suggest a basic first aid kit, and that you
aquire some BASIC First Aid Skills.
