Pets & Insects

It’s September, the season for cooler weather, picnics, barbecues, camping trips…and that means bees and wasps! If you’re planning on taking your pet to a picnic or out on a camping trip, make sure you keep an eye on them. Bee stings can be dangerous for pets, especially if they’re allergic! We recommend removing the stinger from the site as quickly as possible after your pet has been stung, applying ice to offset swelling, and monitoring your pet for at least 24 hours. Remember, DO NOT give your pet a painkiller unless it has been prescribed by us!
