March is poison prevention awareness month. Here is a handy site to search for many
different substances and it also has the animal poison control center helpline
phone number.
http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poisons
Please visit the site to become familiar with how to
navigate it and put the emergency phone number in your phone, on your fridge, and
with your pet’s health records. Having
the number handy will save precious moments if there is ever an emergency.
The “For Owners” section along the top of the website has
some great information about creating a first aid kit, knowing the signs of
poisoning in dogs and cats, and how to poison proof your home and yard. There is lots of great information on this
site – even if you think you know it or will never need it, it is good to
refresh your mind and take a look around your home to see what you can put away
out of your pet’s reach.
Here’s to the safety of our pets! May we never need that emergency number, but
may we always have it close at hand just in case!
