Interested in moving to CR…is there a good source of info about keeping pets safe and what may be harmful to them. I am a licensed vet tech in Wash state. Is there an ASPCA equivalent web site in CR?
You will find more info on plants which are often grown here, as house plants.
Realize that unless you are a permanent resident, [url=http://www.costaricalaw.com/Immigration-and-Residency/residency-general-information-and-summary.html]you can’t legally perform physical work here.[/url] You could open your own business, but are [url=http://www.costaricalaw.com/Labor-Law/]required to hire staff[/url]I do not know of an ‘ASPCA equivalent web site’ in Costa Rica and if we had one it would of course be in Spanish, right?
The closest thing I found was: ‘La Asociación Nacional Protectora de Animales (ANPA) fue fundada el 11 de enero de 1980. Su labor de protección animal la hace mediante la educación de las personas para que sean ellas quienes mejoren la calidad de vida de sus compañeros.’

Hope that helps.

A bigger issue than snakes here is dogs catching poisonous toads. They cause a lot of deaths. Then there is the pencil tree. Its sap is quite toxic and can get on a dog’s fur and transfer to the owner. It causes caustic burns and can cause blindness. We had one growing and took it out.
We have a 12ft tall pencil tree, Euphorbia tirucalli in a pot on our patio, and so far it hasn’t caused any problems, and have three Euphorbia tithymaloides, another plant that has ‘potential’ to cause problems…but we also have toad frogs that visit frequently that the dogs ignore.
Talking of caustic burns, I have one on my finger from processing Cashews…and of course, I should have known better.:roll:
Many folk are allergic to the sap that mangos produce…and in North America, common rhubarb causes problems.
