Poison Around Our Pets!
Karen MacGregor, one of our Transport Coordinators and also a foster for AADR shared some important information we wanted to share with you. With spring upon us (mostly...), we will start planting our flowers and tending our gardens and there could be dangers lurking there. Karen has a neighbor that lost some lost some puppies when they encountered her peonies years ago.
Karen asked us to share a resource with owners so that you can do a planning check and you may want to avoid potentially dangerous plants. Especially if your pets are out in your planting areas.
As Karen said, "Just to name a couple of things - azaleas, rhododendrons and Lillies of the valley are on the list. Of course I have Lillies of the valley in my backyard so I guess I’ll be getting rid of them! Crocuses are another - I have a couple that some birds dropped off years ago and they won’t grow any place that I plant them but they’re leaving too."

In order to clear up this confusion, Reviews.com teamed up with leading industry experts and dedicated hundreds of hours researching canine nutrition and the importance of quality ingredients. The end result is an in-depth analysis, backed by scientific research and expert knowledge, that clearly explains the importance of canine nutrition and details exactly what pet owners should and shouldn’t be feeding their dogs.
