The following tips can help avoid a trip to the vet:
🍄Toxic mushrooms:
Fall is a mushroom season. Although there are a limited number of toxic mushrooms, it's best to keep your pet away from all types because sometimes it's hard to distinguish which ones are harmful.
🐭 Rodenticides and other poisons:

✂️ ✏️School supplies:
With school back in session, school supplies are most likely lying around your home if you have kids. Items like pencils, pens, glue, and pencil sharpeners can harm your dog or cat if they ingest or play with them.
