The Marin Humane Society offers pet guardians some commonsense tips to help keep their pets safe. Keep your companion animals indoors and away from strange guests. Candy, especially chocolate, is toxic for animals and should be kept out of paws' reach. If your animal companion ingests chocolate or other candies, consult your veterinarian immediately. Tin foil and cellophane wrappers also pose a danger to animals.
Curious animals run the risk of getting burned.
Make sure your cat or dog is wearing proper identification if for any reason they should escape and become lost. At Marin Humane Society, the animals come first.
