Springtime Hazards For Pets - Gardening

Related image
The warmer springtime weather is a great time to spend outdoors. One of the top favorites during spring is spending time in the garden. Gardening means having sharp tools and gardening products around. To protect pets from potential hazards, they should never be allowed into the area while gardening work is being done. After using gardening tools, be sure to return them to the shed so their sharp points and edges won’t pose a risk to you, your family and pet.

Lawn and garden chemicals, such as fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, slug and snail pellets, etc. tend to contain ingredients that are toxic to pets when consumed intentionally or unintentionally. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s recommendation regarding the waiting period before allowing your pet back into the lawn or garden after the application.

Bring your pet to your vet Columbia MD ASAP if he is showing any signs of toxicity.
