From Warren Eckstein - Spring Pet Alert
Mar-27-2013

Spring is here! Enjoy the beautiful weather and outdoor activities with your pets but be aware of the hazards that accompany the season.

� Whether you live in a private home or apartment, you'll be tempted to open windows to let the fresh air in. Be sure to keep screens or protective bars on your windows to prevent pets from escapes and falls. For those of you owned by cats, window bars should be narrow enough to keep Kitty from squeezing through. And bird-owners should make sure their feathered friends are protected from drafts.

� Outdoor activities mean opening and closing doors more frequently. Be sure that you know where your pets are at all times.

� Spring means it's time for spring-cleaning. Keep household cleansers and chemicals out of your pets' reach.

� Some common types of house plants and outdoor bushes, flowers and shrubs can be poisonous to your pets. If you have any doubts about the safety of the plants in your home or on your property, check with your local nursery or garden center.

� Tools, especially gardening tools, have sharp points that can puncture delicate paws or worse. Do you leave your tools and implements out where your pets can get to them.
