Hey Guys, This is just an alert I wanted you all to know about. (Especially if you know anyone in the Maryland Area.) During this time, boats and boat landings are being scraped clean. Don’t let your dogs eat this stuff. Mussel debris from a mussel called ‘dark false mussel’ can cause liver failure in dogs. Dogs have been dying from eating these mussel scrapings. So, throw out all these scrapings. Sounds weird but, get the word out. We love our pupsters!!
