Dangers
Plants
It is common knowledge that cats
like to eat grass but dogs do this too. Puppies in particular could try
to eat plants and it could happen occasionally. If this does happen,
take your dog to the vet with a sample of what he has eaten as he will
know the best course of action.
Cables
Young dogs like to bite all sorts of
things including wires from lamps, the computer or other electrical
appliances which can be found everywhere around the house. Try to hide
these as much as possible or protect the cables.
Detergents
These contain toxic substances which
are hazardous for dogs. Do not let your dog walk over floors that have
just been cleaned with detergents and do not spray them with detergents.
Floors will need cleaning regularly if you have pets and if the dog
walks on the wet floor, the detergent will get on the its paws and he
will lick them dry and ingest the toxic detergent.
Chocolate
Chocolate is a product that humans
enjoy but which is actually toxic to dogs or cats because it contains
certain substances which their bodies cannot break down. Never feed a
dog chocolate or scavenge around because dogs do like sweet food and
most cats don’t.
