Its springtime, your garden starts to grow and your pet is spending more time playing outside. Here are a few points to keep in mind to keep your pet happy and healthy.
- You may use pellets to deter slugs and snails and weedkilling products but some of these can be harmful to cats and dogs. Even eating a small amount can cause them to become seriously ill. Always check the labels of any chemicals you use in the garden.
- More time outside means more chance of ticks. Check your pets regularly, even between the toes and along the gums. These pesky critters can really hide away!
- Allergies can affect your pet too! If you think your pet is scratching more than usual it may be worthwhile getting it checked out at the vets
- Some flower bulbs can be toxic for your pets so make sure you do not leave them where they can be chewed.
Make your garden a happy and safe place for everyone in the family!
