Keep Pet Safety in Mind this Holiday Season Dr. Delores E. Gockowski, Wapiti Labs Consulting Veterinarian  The festive holiday season often transforms a pet's typically safe living environment to an unsafe one, complete with potentially toxic and poisonous items. As with children, restrict your pet's boundaries to prevent toxicity or poisoning and monitor their behavior closely for signs they are not feeling well.A few tips to keep the holiday season safe for your pet: HOLIDAY DÉCOR - From a pet's view, holiday displays are meant to be investigated. Natural pine trees or wreaths, occasionally sprayed with artificial snow and decorated with ornaments are considered low toxicity, but pet's may injure their mouth or paw pads in the disassembling process. More... FESTIVE PLANTS - Holly berries and leaves are very poisonous and mistletoe is to be hung out of reach for their berries are highly toxic. Gift boxes of lilies, narcissus or amaryllis waiting to sprout are also quite poisonous for pets. Poinsettia, particularly the leaves and stem which is often the entire plant display, has a low toxicity. More... FOOD - Mealtime is often a main course of meat with owners eager to treat their dog with left-over's. Cooked bones can splinter resulting in sharp foreign bodies in the dog's mouth, esophagus or along the GI tract. Excess fat from meat or poultry skin can cause acute pancreatitis and sudden dietary changes can result in vomiting or diarrhea. If you won't eat it, think twice about serving your pet a leftover. More... Yes, holidays are a season of merriment. Your pet, however, may be observing the holidays much different than you by viewing your holiday décor as new toys or treats. If you suspect your pet has encountered a toxin or poison, prompt veterinary intervention is the best gift you can provide. Here's to a safe and happy holiday season!

We know she is only 3-4 years old and that arthritis shouldn't be affecting her yet, but were not able to tell if she had an injury. We started her on the Mobility Formula and within 1 1/2 weeks, she was running around and you couldn't notice a limp. Now she has more energy than ever and loves to play all day long. -Jerry and Phyllis, Wisconsin  Our black labs have been on Mobility Formula for over a year now. We've seen excellent improvement in their stiffness and movement, but it was obvious on our hunting trip last weekend that all three of them are feeling much better. We couldn't believe it, they wanted to keep running all day long, for several days in a row! We thought for sure when we got home that they'd be worn out and need at least a week to recover, but they didn't. This product works great! I can't wait to take them hunting again. -Doug Larson, South Dakota | | Read more testimonials at www.wapitilabsinc.com.
