ASPCA Launches "Pet Safe" App for Poisonous Plants
Last year, more than 10,000 pets were poisoned by common household plants. With gardening season in full bloom, it's important to educate your clients about the dangers that plants and flowers (like tulips) can cause to their pets. Fortunately, the ASPCA recently launched a new "Pet Safe" app, for use on the iPhone or iPod Touch. The "Pet Safe" app lists all hazardous plants and breaks out those plants' common and scientific names, clinical signs associated with ingestion, and photos. For only $2.99, it's a great resource to have on hand while shopping for your garden or for use in the clinic.
