Posted in Blog, News on May 25, 2012 | leave a comment

Barbecues, bugs and perhaps the beach? ?I know we want to include our pets as much as possible this Memorial Day weekend while you?re spending time with friends and family.

The ASPCA recommends keeping your pet indoors as much as possible during outdoor parties. From toxic foods to fire hazards, our animals are exposed to all sorts of unusual things during Memorial Day weekend, and your pet is counting on you to keep him safe.

Check out the ASPCA?s top 5 tips:

? Skip the spray. Avoid lathering your pet with any insect repellent not intended for the four-legged kind.

? Avoid scraps from the grill. Stick with your pet?s normal diet?any change, even for a day, can result in an upset stomach.

? Be cool near the pool. Don?t leave pets unsupervised around a pool or lake?not all dogs are expert swimmers!

? Stay fire smart. Keep your pet away from matches, citronella candles and lighter fluid, which if eaten can irritate the stomach, lungs and central nervous system.

? Keep it fresh. Bring enough water to keep yourself and your pup hydrated. ?Nature?s dog bowls??puddles, ponds and streams?may contain parasites.
