Right about now, you're probably finalizing your exciting 4th of July plans. 🎆 But don't forget to plan for your pet!
Did you know that more pets go missing during the 4th of July than any other time of year? Animal control services typically see a 30% increase in lost pets from July 4th through July 6th. Only 14% are returned to their owners. Keep your pet at home and safe with these tips!

Gearing up for a marathon of spring cleaning? 🧹 Before you start, be sure to know which cleaners are toxic to your pets. Unfortunately, many of the most common products include ingredients that may be harmful to both dogs and cats, even those that are marketed as green or natural. ☣️ Watch out for these chemical ingredients:
• Chlorine (Bleach): Pets breathe faster than we do, which means more toxins are absorbed into their system. Though naturally occurring, chlorine in high concentrations can be deadly to pets.
• Ammonia: Found commonly in oven cleaners, window cleaners, floor waxes, and fertilizers – often as ammonium hydroxide. Exposure may cause severe damage to eyes, skin, stomach, and even death.
• Glycol Ethers: These chemicals are known to cause various cancers in lab rats, as well as birth defects, delayed development, and other effects, such as anemia, eye and nose irritation, and weight loss. Commonly listed as 2-Methoxyethanol, 2-Ethoxyethanol, and 2-Butoxyethanol.
• Formaldehyde: Exposure usually comes from inhalation, though can also be absorbed through skin. It doesn’t have to be listed on your cleaner ingredient list, other names for formaldehyde include: formalin, formic aldehyde, methanediol, methanol, methyl aldehyde, methylene glycol, and methylene oxide.
• Phthalates: Since hormones control so much more than just reproduction in your pet’s system (and yours), phthalates have been linked to indirect symptoms such as weight gain, cancers, and developmental delays. You’ve probably heard of the commonly known phthalate, BPA, but there are many more.
March is National Pet Poison Prevention Awareness Month! We’ll be sharing several tips over the next few weeks to inform you about the potential dangers of pet poisonings and how to prevent them. ☣️🐾
In the event of a poisoning or toxin exposure, quick action and expert advice are critical! We recommend you save numbers and addresses in your phone for your veterinarian, your nearest emergency animal hospital, and a poison control hotline. The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center is staffed by board-certified veterinary toxicologists and specialist technicians and are available every day 24/7. They can be reached at 1.888.426.4435.
