Bees and Wasps
Stinging pests like bees, wasps, hornets and yellowjackets can cause severe allergic reactions, which can be life-threatening to pets.
Dogs and cats may chase and try to play with bees or wasps, but their curiosity can quickly result in a painful sting. Some pets may experience anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that may lead to difficulty breathing, vomiting and collapse. Check for signs of bees or wasp nests around your property.
