Before heading outdoors, pet owners should keep in mind that fall brings with it certain risks to dogs. Some of these risks are made by mother nature while others are produced by man, but all of the following doggy dangers are prevalent during the fall:
- Snakes
- Mushrooms
- Rodent poison
- Engine coolants
- School supplies
INSIGHTS: Cooler weather also means using furnaces for heat. Indoor heating can lead to dry skin and more skin problems for dogs. Consider skin care options as fall begins.
