Majority of our walks are on martingale collars to prevent slipping out.

💡Tuesday Tip💡
Many dogs go missing when they slip their collar.
Martingale collars are a great way to prevent a dog from slipping their collar.
Please make sure the collar fits properly. 1 finger should be able to fit between the collar and dogs skin, no more.
Only use a martingale when out for a walk on leash. Take it off when you get home.
Please keep your dogs safe! 🦮

JUST IN; NEW RESULTS;
So far, we have completed Anticoagulant Rodenticide Panels for 79 deceased specimens to identify which ingredients of anticoagulant rodenticides are evident within their bodies. 68 have resulted positive for one or more of the ingredients of Second Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticide poisons. More tests pending.
How can anyone continue to look the other way? Rodenticides/poisons have never solved a rodent problem. Nor have they ever been able to be specific to the targeted nuisance animal. In our testing, there are 3 wild mammals, a fox, an opossum and a weasel, and 3 American Bald Eagles. Other predatory Birds of Prey included, Red tailed hawks, Red shouldered hawks, Broad winged hawks, Coopers hawks, Northern Harrier, American Kestrel, Crows, Barred Owls, Great Horned Owls, and Eastern Screech Owls.
Our wildlife needs you to send in your testimony before Wednesday, February 28, 2024. Link to submit below.
Support HB 5217 with Amendments to include a ban on the use and the sale of SGARS statewide. Making them registered use products is a step in the right direction but not enough since it still allows licensed Pest Management Providers to apply these poisons.

Next week is Valentine’s Day 💕 and the U.S. alone is estimated to spend over $2 billion on flowers, many of which can be seriously toxic to our cats and dogs. Before you buy that beautiful bouquet for someone with pets, stop and check that you’re not accidentally gifting them something dangerous – their pets will thank you for it!
