A Seuss Sort of Day

Happy birthday to you, Dr. Seuss!

No one will ever be able to rhyme quite like you.

We thank you for a certain cat in a hat,

And for so very much more than that.
Thanks to you, Horton heard that Who,
And the world got to know Thing One and Thing Two.
Happy birthday to you, Dr. Seuss!

Our Tip of the Day:

Yesterday, as part of National Pet Poison Awareness Month, we mentioned the importance of having solid plans for taking your furbaby to a local veterinary clinic in the event that they are exposed to a poisonous substance. Along these same lines, also don't forget about the ASPCA Poison Control Center, which you can call 24/7. The phone number is 888-426-4435. This is an option in perhaps a bit less dire circumstances, when it is more likely that immediate medical attention is not needed. The ASPCA Poison Control Center can help you determine, for example, if the amount of chocolate your dog ate or if the pill of your human medication that your cat swallowed is something that might warrant a rush trip to the vet. Though, they can also potentially recommend treatments or at-home first aid tips in the case of poison exposure. There is the chance that you will be charged a consultation fee, but, should you need professional poison control advice immediately, that number might very well be a good one to call.
