Re: could keeping our lawns beautiful be killing our pets?
Hi Nonie,
My little pug Benson has been going to a vet down here and up north. After many tests etc. the vets concluded that there are too many chemicals and poisions in the Villages down here. Benson gets ear infections and respiratory problems. Up north he has acres to run with no poisions. He clears right up. All I can do is keep the poisons out of my yard down here. The worst are when you buy new landscaping. All the plants have been sprayed with a strong poison. I know one little black poodle died 2 days after her owner got new landscraping. My northern vet says Florida is hard on pets because many pesticides that are banned in NY are still used in Florida.
Every dog or animal lover is in pain to see their little pets suffer. My heart goes out to all who lose a pet, especially you Nonie.
