October is a very scary month with the ghouls and goblins that can send our pets in orbit. Keep the little fellows in a secure place and give them tranquillizers when needed. In our house, with five grandchildren I’m sure it will be very exciting. We hope you have a good one.

     There are various household items that are hazardous to your pet. Be sure to keep any of the following items up and away to ensure the safety of your pet.

 

These can cause liver and bleeding problems that must be monitored:

• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (ibuprofen, aspirin, etc.)
• Acetaminophen
• Rat and mouse bait

• Antidepressants
• Diet pills
• Cold and flu medications

 

Toxic/ Poisonous if swallowed:
