Peanut Allergen Warning

At Seattle Humane, peanut products may be found in any area where animals are present, especially with dogs. Peanut butter is commonly used to provide enrichment and medication, and program participants may come in contact with these products or animals who have recently consumed these products while at the shelter. While peanut products are uncommon in cat and small critter areas, there is shared equipment and laundry between species that may carry a risk of peanut exposure. Families should contact Education Services staff BEFORE registering if they have questions about their child's ability to safely participate in activities.
