Spring is a beautiful time of year. However, like every season, it brings its own special concerns for our animal companions. Many of the wonderful things we enjoy are hazardous to our pets.

Spring Safety Tips from North Shore Animal League offers a great checklist for Spring safety. This article from the HSUS provides some important information about rabbits, a popular 'gift' during the Springtime. The final article comes from the AVMA. From chocolate bunnies to tulips, this comprehensive guide offers a variety of information on how to keep your pet safe this Spring.

Spring is also a time to do our part to prevent animal cruelty. April is National Prevention of Animal Cruelty month, and the ASPCA is leading the way by sponsoring a "Go Orange for Animals" campaign. Visit the ASPCA website today and learn about how you do your part to prevent cruelty to animals.
