• Spring Toxins
  While colorful flowers are easy on the eyes, they pose potential danger to cats and dogs. Island Lake Veterinary Clinic doctors would like to make sure our clients know how to pet-proof their gardens with this information about six common spring plants and their toxicities.
• Don't throw dogs a bone!
  The idea that it’s natural for dogs to chew on bones is a popular one. However, it’s a dangerous practice and can cause serious injury to your pet.
