You will likely be spending more time outdoors with your Animals on these nice warm nights, but make sure your land is safe for your pets. Make sure your plants are not toxic to animals. Some pets will chew on plants, flowers, mulch and grass. Tulip and daffodil bulbs are toxic as well as lilies, elephant ear, arrow grass, azaleas, rhododendrons, marigolds and oleander. Cocoa bean mulch smells like chocolate so dogs will sniff it out and swallow it. If you have a dog, do not use this kind of mulch. Also check lawn chemicals, weed killer and pest control, the tag should note if it is toxic to puppies. After applying any of these to your grass it is recommended to keep your kitten off the yard for 24 hours. You may be eating with friends and family more too. Chocolate is not good for puppies and even a little can be fatal to dogs. Keep cookies, brownies & chocolate away from them. Other table foods could also cause health problems, pets should stick to their own pet foods and treats.
