Keep your pets safe from danger!

 

Pet Poison Prevention Week is an annual awareness campaign that aims to educate pet owners on the dangers of common household items that can be poisonous to their furry friends. This week-long event is typically observed in the third week of March and serves as a reminder for pet owners to take the necessary steps to keep their pets safe from accidental poisoning.

During Pet Poison Prevention Week, pet owners are encouraged to take stock of their homes and identify potential hazards. This includes cleaning supplies, human medications, plants, and certain foods that can be toxic to pets. It's important for pet owners to keep these items out of reach of their pets or securely locked away to prevent accidental ingestion.

Symptoms of poisoning in pets can range from mild to severe and can include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, seizures, and even death in severe cases. If a pet owner suspects that their pet has ingested something toxic, it's important to seek immediate veterinary care.

By raising awareness of the dangers of pet poisoning and taking proactive steps to prevent it, pet owners can help keep their furry friends safe and healthy.
