National Poison Prevention Week + Springtime Safety tips

My sister is an avid animal lover and she passed along 2 pieces of news to share with everyone.

The first is that this week is National Poison Prevention week!  (I know the week is almost over, but I've been busy, so that's my excuse..). 
A reminder for pet owners to please keep toxic household cleaners away from where your pets can find them.
For the complete list of common toxic household items, please follow view this page:

Because I run a Doggy Daycare and Overnight Pet Boarding service, it's especially important for me to keep all toxic items out of reach.


Also, last sunday was the Spring equinox! 
You know what Spring means: blue skies, flowers blooming, birds chirping, mild breezes and temperature...
The arrival of Spring time also means to be extra safe, now that you and your pets are spending more time outdoors.
