FAQs
What are the main safety threats to pets in Alabama?
Alabama’s wildlife can pose some risks to your pets, so it’s good to stay cautious. Venomous snakes like the cottonmouth, copperhead, and diamondback rattlesnake are a serious concern. Keep your pets on a leash in areas where snakes are common, and avoid letting them explore piles of leaves or logs. If your pet is bitten, get them to a vet right away, and snapping a quick photo of the snake can help with treatment.
Dangerous spiders like black widows and brown recluses are another threat. These spiders love dark, warm spots like basements, making them risky for curious pets. A spider bite can cause pain, tremors, or swelling, so a trip to the vet is crucial if you suspect one. Staying alert and proactive can help keep your furry friends safe.
