dog20305If you have pets, you may have dangers hiding in plain sight in your home.  Many of those may pose a danger to the human inhabitants as well, but some are unique to dogs, cats or birds, such as chocolate or grapes. For a list of specific hazards to address, including foods, medicines, cleaning products and common household items, go to Household Hazards for Pets.  Then take a tour of your home and eliminate any hazards you can.  The time it takes may save you time at the veterinary emergency clinic or, more important, your pet's life.
