"Owning a pet is a big responsibility. Dog owners are responsible for not only the health and safety of their pet but also protecting people from injury. Most dogs will never bite, but it’s important to remember that any dog, regardless of breed or type, can bite under certain circumstances."

It is estimated that 4.5 to 4.7 million people experience injuries and bites from dogs every year. Children are the largest portion of this demographic with approximately 31,000 children between the ages of 5 and 9 experiencing injuries requiring medical intervention.

Bite prevention begins with teaching children how to understand dog communication and appropriate behaviors around dogs. Please do not instruct your child to hug or kiss a dog. These actions are often scary for dogs and is likely the primary reason children are bitten most frequently about the face.

The pollen is the most toxic portion of Lilies and can be ingested while grooming. These flowers should never be brought into a home with cats.

Lilies may be beautiful, but they are extremely toxic to cats — even small exposures can be fatal — so pet owners should keep them out of their homes and gardens.

"The fact is that heartworm disease has been diagnosed in all 50 states, and risk factors are impossible to predict. Multiple variables, from climate variations to the presence of wildlife carriers, cause rates of infections to vary dramatically from year to year—even within communities. And because infected mosquitoes can come inside, both outdoor and indoor pets are at risk.
For that reason, the American Heartworm Society recommends that you “think 12:” (1) get your pet tested every 12 months for heartworm and (2) give your pet heartworm preventive 12 months a year."
