It's fantastic weather , perfect for playing in the garden!
I've had a few concerns regarding plant fertilizers and what would happen if dogs or cats were to ingest some.
All plant fertilizers contain nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, in varying ratios dependant on the type of plants to be fertilized.
Most fertilizers if ingested would cause some digestive upsets,
such as straining and stomach pains.
Some fertilizers do contian iron. If you have a fertilizer with iron, please be sure to keep it out of your dog and cats reach,
as it could potentially cause iron toxicity.
Some of the signs of iron toxicity are:
vomitting and diarrhoea.
If you think your pet has ingested plant fertilizer,
take your pet to your vet ASAP!
