Dog and cats (especially kittens) can be very curious. Trouble begins when they wander and meet an accident. To keep your pets safe, here are some practical tips to consider:
In the kitchen or bathroom: Use childproof latches to keep little paws from prying open cabinets.
Place medications, cleaners, chemicals and laundry supplies on high shelves.
Keep trash cans covered or inside a latched cabinet.
Check for and block any small spaces, nooks or holes inside cabinets or behind washer/dryer units.
Make sure your kitten hasn’t jumped into the dryer before you turn it on,
Keep foods out of reach of your pet (even if the food isn’t harmful, the wrapper could be).
Keep the toilet lid closed to prevent your pet from drowning or drinking harmful cleaning chemicals.
In the living or family room: Place dangling wires from lamps, VCRs, television sets, stereos and telephones out of reach.
Put away children’s toys and games.
Put away knick-knacks until your pet has the coordination not to knock them over.
Check all those places where your vacuum cleaner doesn’t fit but your puppy or kitten does for dangerous items like string.
Move common house plants that may be poisonous out of reach. Don’t forget hanging plants that can be jumped onto from nearby surfaces.
Make sure all heating/air vents are covered.
Put away all sewing and craft notions, especially thread.
In the garage: Move all chemicals to high shelves or behind secure doors.
Clean all antifreeze from the floor and driveway as one taste can be lethal to animals.
Bang on your car hood to ensure that your kitten (or any neighborhood cat) has not hidden in the engine for warmth.
Keep all sharp objects and tools out of reach.
