Hey yall

Well the landscapers are out in full force want to reminde you all about pesticides and ferilizer poisioning. you see those little white flags on peoples lawns, keep your pets off em!

Pesticides taken internally can kill your pet, taking a munch on treated grass, or soil.
Different fertilizers can cause chemical burns to the pads of thier feet, and other bad things.

As well as the dreaded etholine glycol AKA antifreeze, gonna be air conditioning season soon as well. only takes 2 spoonfuls to kill a 50lb dog!

Leaving your pets in cars PLEASE DONT DO THIS!! its easier to keep "buster" at home, a 15.c day can turn an interior of a car into a 40.c oven. in minutes. not to mention it is illegal to do so on hot days.

Leave loads of water out for your pet if you decide to keep them out, as well as a shaded area with a dog house. hyperthermia,is not good, and is a horrible way to die.

Just a few things, no one really thinks about them until its unfortunatly to late. Have a safe and happy Summer ;0)
