Fall Hazards
Fall… what a phenomenal time of year. A chill in the air...a perfect excuse for snuggling with your pet. And want to get a little exercise…how about a walk through leaf strewn trials to enjoy the colors and sounds of a changing season. If you are a hunter, time to hit the fields with your trusty canine to fill the larder with game. Maybe your hunting is for tasty mushrooms with which to flavor your evening meals. But do you know which ones are safe to eat? Does your dog? Fall can also be a time of increased risk for your pet, both inside and out of the home. My guest is Dr. Charlotte Flint. Since 2010 she has been a senior consulting veterinarian at Pet Poison Helpline.
