HEALTH TIP

Many of us fail to consider the risk and danger of cleaning products kept in the house, whether they be in the kitchen, bathroom or garage. In our house , as in most, they are kept under the sink or often in a lower cabinet in our garage and as with small children, this can prove to be dangerous, sometimes fatal when pets are around! An inquisitive puppy with a "pokey" nose can get into quite a lot of trouble in a very short time. When puppy and pet proofing your home, DON'T forget those cabinets.
Childsafe latches work perfectly for pets too and keep cleaning products where they should be...behind locked doors!

If you suspect your pet has gotten into something they shouldn't have...or if you've just used a cleaning product near your pets and see unexplained symtoms, CALL YOUR VET IMMEDIATELY!
Pets, like people can have allergies to certain products and not all products can be safe for use near pets.

Take special caution when using a new product in your home!

Virtually every pet owner has, at one time been confronted with a pet that has behaved less than desirably in some way. Most pet owners can certainly relate to the frustration over a dog or cat that is not reliably housetrained, the sense of rejection due to a destructive pet, or to the anxiety caused by an aggressive pet. One of Dr. Schwartz's goals is to resolve behavioral problems in pets before their owner's tolerance and love are lost.
