A friend sent this to me....thankfully the pup is okay.  But it's a warning for those on the east coast...especially on Long Island and New York State!  Mushrooms are coming up!

So take care out there....remember if you need Mushroom Alert Cards or Posters they are on this website and can be printed out.  Or contact me if you'd like to order a larger quantity of cards.

There is a new procedure that provides instant draining of the toxins from the gallbladder.  I suggest we should all get this information to our vets.

We don't think mushrooms in the summer...BUT THEY ARE OUT THERE NOW!


I lost my sweet pup Donato on August 17th. And unfortunately, just recently I heard of two older dogs that ate mushrooms and died. It's not just the puppies.


Patrol your yard. Pick mushrooms, bag them and throw them out. When out on walks, be careful.


But at least now, if your pup eats a Death Cap...he has a chance to survive.
