POISONS FOR YOUR DOG

Dogs have fairly non-discriminatory taste buds, and are prone to poisoning themselves by eating harmful substances. It is up to you to prevent your dog from having access to anything dangerous.

SAFETY TIPS

IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR DOG. Some signs to watch for are depression, coughing, abdominal pain, and redness of the mouth and tongue.
DO NOT PLACE YOUR DOG IN A GARAGE WHILE YOU ARE AWAY. Your car may leak OIL, BATTERY ACID or ANTIFREEZE onto the floor and your dog may lick it up.
Some people like to share their chocolate bar with their dog not realizing that chocolate is indeed poisoning to dogs.
KEEP HOUSE HOLD CLEANERS IN A SAFE PLACE, KEEP CUPBOARDS CLOSED AT ALL TIMES. Pills must always be put away out of reach. Plastic bags, saran wrap etc must never be left out, your dog may eat it causing major intestinal problems.
KEEPS YOUR FLOORS CLEAN OF ANY DEBRIS TO AVOID YOUR DOG FROM COLLECTING FOREIGN OBJECTS IN HIS MOUTH.
REMEMBER TO ONLY GIVE YOUR DOG SAFE TOYS. UNSAFE TOYS COULD BE PLASTIC POP BOTTLES, TIN CANS, LATEX ITEMS, STUFFED ANIMALS, AND OLD SHOES ETC. PLEASE USE TOYS THAT ARE RECOMMENCED FOR DOGS THAT ARE FOUND IN PET STORES.
USE A KENNEL WHEN YOUR DOG CANNOT BE SUPERVISED

It is also important to remember that there are different types of poison such as inhaled poisons if you are painting in a room, your dog should be protected by placing him outside the room until the fumes are gone. Working on your car in a garage can be dangerous for you and your dog. Use caution when using lawn treatments, your dog will inhale and transport it into your house by his paws absorbing it and then licking his paws clean, digesting the chemical into his blood stream. Plants are another hazard LEARN WHICH PLANTS ARE DANGEROUS.
