Protect Pets from Pot
- Do you have specific Neighborhood(s) in mind?
- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- With the increased use of cannabis, there is greater risk for dogs to be exposed to cannabis/THC remnants on sidewalks and parks. According to the NYT there is up to a 400% increased risk of exposure compared to just a few years ago. A small amount of THC can be toxic to dogs.
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- Educate pet parents, dog walkers and cannabis users on the effects of cannabis on dogs. This can include flyers in NYC parks or even team up with dog/dog walker specific apps to help educate on the effects. This can help owners who dogs are exhibiting signs and symptoms of toxicity. In addition, educate cannabis users on the importance of safe disposal of any cannabis remnants. This education can be using flyers in parks and trash cans.
