Be sure your Pet doesn't "FALL" into Danger

While Fall is a great time to be outdoors and have fun with your pets, please beware of some dangers that the fall weather brings.
1.  Compost Pile -- Composting is a great way to reuse and recycle your yard waste.  Unfortunately, decomposing organic material may contain mycotoxins that can cause hyperthermia, agitation, excessive panting or drooling, and even seizures.  Be sure to place your compost pile in an area where your dog or cat will not be able to access it.

2.  Rat/Mice Poisions -- As the cool weather arrives, mice and rats like to make their way indoors.  Since most of us don't care to share our abode with those types of furry creatures, the natural response is to set out poison.  Always place traps or poisons in an area that is not accessible to your pet.

3.  Cold weather -- Pets that are used to being indoors are susceptible to the cold weather, especially if they have a short coat.  A Dog and Two Cats has a nice selection of sweaters, coats, and booties that will keep your pet warm, fashionable, and safe this winter.

4.  Mushrooms -- Fall is the perfect time for mushrooms to begin to sprout in your yard.  Always be on the lookout for mushrooms because many are toxic to dogs!  Mushroom poisoning can result in vomiting, diarrhea, severe digestive problems or even liver failure.

5.  Antifreeze -- Each year more than 10,000 dogs and cats are accidentally poisoned with antifreeze.  Pets are attracted to the sweet taste and it only takes 1-2 teaspoons to kill a cat and 3 to kill a dog.  If your car leaks antifreeze, please have it fixed. Also, keep extra antifreeze out of the reach of your pets.

6.  Holiday Plants -- Many holiday plants have proven to be dangerous to pets.  A quick list to avoid includes:  holly, amaryllis, mistletoe, poinsettia, Christmas and Thanksgiving cactus, chrysanthemum, and burning bush. 

Fall is a great season to enjoy many activities.  Just make sure that this season is just as enjoyable for your pets!
