Exercise caution when using organic meals, bone meal, blood meal and fish based fertilizers.
Also, use caution when creating your own composting pile. Keep dogs and cats from eating the decomposing and often bacteria infested materials.
If your pet gets into any suspected toxins or uncertain plants it is best to
contact animal poison control at (888) 426-4435, ASPCA.org or call your veterinarian immediately. It could save their life.
