Fall Safety

The start of fall brings new seasonal household items that pose a threat to the safety of our pets. These common household items can cause serious problems if ingested by animals. Here is the list of seasonal products that the veterinarians at Pet Poison Helpline recommend keeping away from pets.

While most mushrooms are generally non-toxic, certain types can be very dangerous and are hard to identify.

Dog Sitting Dilemmas

Over the last several months, we have seen dog sitting dilemmas time and time again here at the shelter. In some situations, the pet gets loose from the sitter and ends up at the shelter. Other times, someone who decided to lend a hand and watch a pet for a bit, ends up with the pet long after the pet was supposed to be returned home. Another problem is when the owners return home to find the conditions of their beloved pets much worse, because the dog sitter didn’t do as they were instructed.

If you are dog sitting for someone, or using a sitter, there are several things you can do to help protect yourself and the pet, as well as to help the sitter be held accountable.
