Traditional cigarette smoking has somewhat fallen out of fashion, but the use of nicotine is still growing strong.

And whether you love to cook for your dog or cat, or you have a toddler who throws food on the floor to your eagerly awaiting pet, awareness of what’s okay to give and what’s not is the first step in preventing a pet emergency.
