With cold weather come new dangers to your pet including antifi eeze, se- vere weather, and the holiday season. Antifreeze has a very sweet taste but it does not take much to do irreversible harm to your pet. No pet should be left outdoors without refuge from the cold wind and weather. Around this time of year we are preparing for the holiday season. Your pet has access to things that can cause seri- ous problems when ingested such as chocolate, tinsel for your Christmas tree, and Poinsettias. For more infor- mation contact your veterinarian.
