Spring Is Here - What Plants Are Poisonous to Dogs?
Hi Readers,
Today is the first day of spring - a day that we welcome whole-heartedly after a long cold winter. With spring comes warmer weather and a ton of plants with the potential to be toxic to pets. Some plant toxins can be very serious and others are fairly mild.
We all love plants, but we want to keep our dogs safe. So what's a plant-loving dog owner to do? Learn which plants are toxic and plant your garden with that knowledge in mind.
Even if your dog doesn't go outside that much or doesn't really bother your plants, it is best to avoid toxic plants that have the potential to affect your dog and others.
I'd recommend that you print this list and keep it handy.
Until next time,
Dr. Jon
P.S. When you are cleaning up your yard for spring, one tool that can really help is a doggy Pooper Scooper. It is very handy. We tested several and really liked this model by DogIt. It is plastic so all you have to do is hose it off, making it easy to clean. The two tools snap together making it convenient to hang outside or in the garage. It makes yard cleanup much easier.

P.P.S. Another VERY cool product for keeping your yard clean is the Doggie Doo Drain. This unique device attaches to your outdoor sewer input and allows you to flush your dog's feces. It is probably the neatest invention I've seen in years. In fact, I bought a couple and gave one to a friend who has a vet hospital. They leave it outside to help with daily cleanups.
Pets have become part of our families and it only seems natural to include them in our family photos. Here are some tips to help you have the perfect pet and family photo.
First - start planning early.
Think about what everyone (including your dog) will wear? As part of your planning, consider what everyone will be wearing including your dog.
Consider your photo location. Most dogs can be happy having photos taken anywhere. However, some dogs can be nervous and prefer the comfort of your own home.
