It is always better to err on the side of safety when it comes to sharing your space with a family fur member.  Just like you would want your child to be safe, think of the furry family member as a four legged child and think about things that might be harmful if viewed by your dog child.

Often we don’t even think that the everyday items in our homes and even outdoors can be dangerous for our dogs.  You can prevent accidents in your home with some very simple pet-proofing techniques that also apply to small children.  Keep all household poisons, toxins and plants that are unsafe, out of reach of your dog’s mouth.  Some of these household chemicals taste and smell irresistable to our furry friends.
