READ YOUR PEANUT BUTTER LABELS Dogs are pretty nuts about peanut butter, but before you offer it as a treat, you’ll want to check the ingredients.
Some brands contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is very dangerous to dogs.
Sugar free gum also has xylitol as an additive.

We would recommend you never give your pet human medicine without talking to your veterinarian first!

WARNING!!!!  Not all Rat/Mouse Poisons have an antidote. They cause swelling at the base of the brain and the animal dies. Use extreme caution when using any kind of poison and remember that even if your pet can't get the poison itself, they can eat the rat or mouse that did. The effects are the same.
