Don’t let your dog ingest any table scraps, even if they give you puppy dog eyes! Foods like onions, garlic, raisins, grapes and rhubarb leaves can be dangerous for your pets.

Here is a great article explaining why these foods can be harmful to your pet. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=6137821

March is Poison Prevention Awareness Month: Keep an eye out each Wednesday for a post about common household items that are toxic to pets. Pet Poison Control is usually the first point of contact that is recommended if your pet gets into a non-veterinary medication or household toxin. They work hand in hand with your veterinary clinic to provide the best course of action. Here is their phone number: (888) 426-4435. A consultation fee may apply.

It's Tripawd Awareness Day! This day honors pet amputees and the people who care for them. Sometimes amputation is inevitable and the best option for pets. The blessing is that our furry cat and dog family members have extra limbs to help them balance. After amputation, most pets do great on their three limbs and function/have the same mobility as those with four limbs! We do recommend taking extra care of the remaining limbs by keeping your pet at a healthy weight and making sure the joints stay well lubricated with a joint supplement.

National Dog Biscuit Day!

A homemade dog biscuit can be a great way to show your pup how much you care about them. But dogs have different nutritional requirements from humans, and human cooking alone will not provide the sustenance they need long-term. Check out this cookbook, found on Amazon, that has some really great ideas for homemade dog biscuits.
