Pet Poison Awareness
"Hey, Mom, is our yard all safe for us to play in?" March is Poison Awareness Month, with the third week being Poison Awareness Week (Happy 50th Anniversary to the Poison Prevention Week Council !) While this is the end of the month, Poison Awareness is something we all need to be vigilant about every single day of every month throughout the entire year. So let's use this annual reminder to double-check our pets' surroundings and keep them safe and healthy.

Chocolate, little plastic toys, button batteries in talking book...
