Spring is Here! Take your dog for a walk!

Bull Run Regional Park (https://share.google/5ZAsCJZHdU1aP6f5A) has a beautiful Bluebell Trail and you can take your dog. The park is free to county residents, and the trail is well marked.

Ask for directions to the trail head at the gate since it is towards the back of the property. It should be gorgeous for the next couple weeks as the stream banks are carpeted in blue.

Pictured below, Sal enjoying a beautiful morning stroll!

Fun fact: Bluebells start out as bright pink buds, then blossom into their classic blue hue.

Spring is here and Easter is coming! Check out ASPCA's article on common Easter hazards for pets below.

As always, please call (888) 426-4435 (ASPCA poison control) if you have any concerns about something your pet has ingested!

As many families prepare to celebrate Easter, it’s important to keep in mind that this spring holiday may pose hazards for our furry friends. Before you hide eggs in your yard and decorate your home, please read our list of the top Easter dangers.
