Is Your Home Healthy & Safe for Your Pet?

Household Dangers You May Not Know About

 Just like you, we want to make our pets lives better and happier. Often looking after our animals can be as challenging as taking care of a new born child, don’t you agree?

As pet owners, we worry about our pet’s health and safety. We know that our friends need us to take care of them and protect them from hazards. 

You already know that there are many substances in your house that can harm your pet, even though they’re safe for humans under certain circumstances.

Rat and mouse poisons and insecticides are responsible for most cases of poisoning in pets. If you have an insect service, make sure that they use products that won’t harm your pets. If you have rodents, find a way to trap or poison them that isn’t also dangerous to your pets.

You probably already know that antifreeze if poisonous and that it has a sweet taste that appeals to animals. If your pets have access to the area where you park, make sure you use pet-safe antifreeze so your pets won’t lap up leaked antifreeze.

Only one teaspoon can kill a seven-pound cat, so be very careful with this deadly poison. Chocolate, which many of us have around our homes regularly, can be poisonous to cats, dogs and ferrets, and should be kept away from all pets.

You should be careful to keep all household chemicals and lawn products, including cocoa mulch and any insecticides, away from your pets, of course; you may not know, however, that the over-the-counter flea and tick preparations may be hazardous to some pets, so it’s better to go with prescription products.

One more note on household dangers—always keep medications, including tubes and bottles of creams or sprays, away from your pets. If you drop a pill, take the time to find and dispose of it properly before your pet finds it and disposes of it for you.

To keep our animals safe all we need to do is to use our imagination. Lets never forget that they see the world different than humans!

You know what to do and you will be great doing this every single day. Your pet loves unconditionally and will NEVER STOP 😉
