tick-borne diseases).

Iverhart Plus (heartworm preventative)
products and provide FDA approved drugs.

Pet Concerns
|
Onions and garlic (raw,
cooked or powdered)
Contain disulfides and sulfoxides, which
can damage red blood cells and cause anemia.
Cats are more susceptible than dogs.
Onions are more toxic than garlic.

Milk and other dairy product
Some adult cats and dogs do not have enough
lactase, which breaks down the lactose in milk. This can
result in diarrhea. Lactose-free milk products are available
for pets.
|
|
Chocolate, coffee, tea, and other caffeine
Contain caffeine and other substances, which
can be toxic and affect the heart and nervous systems.
|
Grapes and raisins
Contain an unknown toxin, which may damage
the kidneys.

For dogs and cats
Aspirin is OK, phone to obtain the correct dosage
for you pet.

The Gentle Leader® headcollar is NOT a muzzle. When fitted
properly, your dog is free to open his mouth to eat, drink,
pant, fetch, bark and even bite - except when you close his
mouth by pulling on the leash. Gentle Leader® features two
soft nylon straps - the collar portion fits high and snug at
the top of the neck, and the nose loop fits loosely and comfortably
across the base of the muzzle. Each strap has a distinct and
important effect.
