COMMON PET POISONS

Losing our pets is one of our greatest heartbreaks. When I lost my beloved Sofia last summer to a snake bite I was filled with grief, guilt, and fear for Kiara, Ruthie, and our foster girl. Sofia protected them but how I wish I could have saved her. Sofia was my third cairn and as near perfect as possible. If you'd like to read her story, please visit her Memorial Wall: http://wall.cairnrescue.com/ppages/gemind_sofia.htm

I'd lived in our home for 6 years and had never seen a snake but they are a definite danger.
Other dangers include:

Ethylene Glycol (Radiator Fluid)
Anti-Freeze

Tylenol (acetominophen)

Chocolate

Rodent or Ant poison

Mace

Please be careful as you walk your pets or visit a dog park that there are no dangers. Dogs like the taste of antifreeze and other poisons and may be easily attracted to them. Don't assume they are safe. Here are some phone numbers if you need help:

Poison Control: 800-922-1117 or 800-345-4735
Animal Poison Control: 888-426-4435 (fees may apply)
Animal Poison Hotline: 888-232-8870 ($35 fee)

Shine on Sofia!
