Foxtails and Algae and Snakes and Alligators, Oh My!

Summer vacation with dog as co-pilot, as Marty and Laura discussed last month, is well under way. Today they bring important information to help keep your pet safe in the late summer at various locations around the country. Whether it's foxtails, blue green algae, poisonous snakes or alligators, your pet can encounter a variety of environmental challenges.

Skunks and porcupines also get rolled into this wide-ranging conversation about what to avoid and what to do if you can't avoid some of these dangers for your pet.

Deskunking formula: One box of baking soda, a pint of hydrogen peroxide, 2 tablespoons of Dawn dish soap and you mix it all up. Lather mixture all over the dog. Do NOT get the dog wet first. Use the whole batch because if you try to put a cap on it, the peroxide and the baking soda foam up and they blow up the container.

Doctor recommended:

Keep your dogs safe from foxtails and other potential injury with an Outfox mesh hood.

The Marty & Laura Show is produced by Pure Dog Talk Inc., with sound design and editing by Premium Audio Services.
