My disabled goldfish scooting around in her newly redesigned sling. She has trouble maintaining buoyancy on her own. She looks a little silly, but it is better than lying at the bottom of the tank all day!

February 8th, 2013Valentine’s Day Pet Safety Tips
February 7th, 2013Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and love is definitely in the air, but so is potential danger for your pets. Make it a sweet and safe day by keeping these safety tips in mind:
- Don’t let pets near roses or lilies. Roses and lilies are the most common Valentine day gifts and can be extremely hazardous to pets. Lilies are toxic and fatal to cats. Thorns can cause internal damage if ingested.
- Keep an eye on candy and other sweet treats around your pet. Chocolate can be toxic to dogs and so can the sweetener xylitol. Candy and food wrappers smell good and can present a choking hazard. And anything I didn’t mention when consumed by a pet can make them sick. Keep pets away from this stuff.
- If you are having a party, keep an eye on alcoholic beverages. We’ve all seen or heard stories of different animals who like to drink. How sad that their owners allow it, not to mention that sometimes this can lead to a pet’s death. It’s not cute. It’s not funny. It’s sad.
- Decorations, candles, cords = dangerous hazards. The warm glow of candlelight is romantic and flattering, but open flames present obvious dangers if your pet has access to them. Keep your pets and children in mind when you celebrate.
- And in the event something should happen, keep your emergency numbers at hand.
Have a safe and Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at VetLocator.com!
