Reminder: the news likes to overdramatize everything!

We don’t have any evidence at this time that we are seeing anything new or different here in Siskiyou County. Here’s a helpful take from an infectious disease expert.

Some candy can be life-threatening for dogs! Be careful where you store people treats this season.

As Halloween is approaching, remember to keep candy, especially chocolate and sugar-free candy containing xylitol, away from your pets. 🍬🍫 When your pet ingests a toxin, time can be of the essence. Immediately contacting the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center 24-hour hotline (1-888-426-4435) will give you and your veterinarian potentially life-saving information regarding the treatment of your loved one.
