Dogs are especially prone to poisonings as they can and do eat almost anything. Head off potential pet dangers with some preventive measures. Feed pets only pet food. The fat content from table scraps can cause pancreatitis in dogs. Never give pets human food that you think might be spoiled.
Animals can get sick from bad food as easily as humans.
Lock up dangerous garage or storage area items such as insect killers or fertilizers before confining your pet in these areas. The pellet formulation is responsible for many serious poisonings each year. Some mouse and insect killing products use peanut butter as an attractant. The peanut butter is also attractive to dogs. Keep pets in mind when placing these products around your home.
