Are you spraying for insects? We would like to remind you that common home pesticides can be harmful or fatal to pets. Many products contain chemical additives that are dangerous and can cause problems for dogs and cats. Signs of poisoning, such as apprehension and stiffness, can appear within minutes of ingestion. Be mindful of pets when attempting to rid your home of unwanted pests.

 

Helki is our featured pet for Dog Assistance Day. Helki is a CCI and Delta trained service dog. Helki and her owner Lorrie volunteer at Cedar Valley School and local assisted living facilities. Helki has also been certified as a cancer service dog. Helki is a very mellow yellow lab with a heart of gold to match her owner who both also provide companionship and back-up when needed for other service dogs while their trainers are away. Thank you to Helki and all of the other service dogs trained to help people off all ages in whatever capacity they are needed!
