An important animal awareness holiday happens in March: Pet Poison Prevention Month.
The ASPCA urges pet owners to be mindful of the following common pet poison hazards:
- Household cleaning products
- Pesticides (insect and rodent)
- Certain people foods
- Automotive products (like antifreeze)
- Medicines (human and pet, Rx and OTC)
- House and yard plants
- Certain flea and tick products
Feeling overwhelmed about what’s safe and what’s not? The ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center has created a free mobile app that covers the toxicity of hundreds of items. It includes pictures and other tools to help you identify what’s harmful to your pet.
Download the app HERE!
Downloading that mobile app is a great way to always know how to respond when a pet may get into something that’s clearly bad for them. Thanks for sharing this valuable info.
Yes, it really does seem like a useful resource to have handy in an emergency. Glad to share!
