Your dog trusts you with everything. Your cat assumes the house is safe.

But every year, thousands of pets are accidentally poisoned by everyday items in their own homes (many of them things that are perfectly safe for people.)

In fact, poison control experts handle hundreds of thousands of calls each year related to pets ingesting toxic substances like human medications, foods, plants, and household products. 

The scary part? Many of these exposures happen in seconds… while you’re cooking, cleaning, or leaving something on the counter.

Awareness matters for pet parents and professional pet sitters. A little knowledge can prevent an expensive trip to the emergency veterinarian.

Learn what to watch for and how to keep pets safe in the NAPPS blog. Ever had a pet mishap that lead to a trip to the vet? Please share in comments.

March 13th is K9 Veterans Day
Here's some background on this holiday from www.soldiersangels.coom

National K9 Veterans Day is observed annually on March 13th and is meant to recognize and honor the bravery, service, and sacrifices of military and working dogs. These extraordinary canines have played crucial roles throughout history, standing alongside Service Members in and out of combat zones, detecting explosives and drugs, and performing search-and-rescue missions. Their unwavering loyalty, courage, and sacrifice make them heroes in their own right.

Joe White, a Vietnam War Veteran from Jacksonville, Florida created K9 Veterans Day as a passion project in 1987. As a dog handler and trainer, White witnessed firsthand the bravery of these canines. Troubled by military dogs’ abandonment, he envisioned a holiday to honor them and raise awareness of their significance.

Today is International Akita Day
International Akita Day is celebrated every year on March 8. The date holds a special significance to Akita aficionados, as it was on March 8, 1935 that Hachiko, the most famous member of the breed, crossed the Rainbow Bridge to reunite with the human he loved.

Although the life span of an Akita is an estimated 10 – 12 years, one member of the breed earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for living to the age of 26 3/4!

Also known as the Akita Inu and the Japanese Akita, this ancient breed was named after the Akita prefecture. Located in the Tohoku region of Honshu, Akita is the prefecture’s capital.

Akitas were once known as Odate dogs, due to their region of origin.

The Akita was declared a national monument of Japan in 1931.

Did you know that Akita have webbed toes?
