Avoiding catastrophes

• Many objects used as cat toys - wool, string, rubber bands, aluminium foil - can be extremely harmful if swallowed.
• Cats love to sleep in warm, dark places, so close drawers and cupboards - your pet might suffocate if trapped.
• A cat looks adorable with a ribbon tied around its neck... but it could get caught and choke your pet.

Dog-gone disasters

• Eliminate hooks or similar objects placed at your dog's shoulder height - the collar or harness could become tangled and he/she could choke.
• A tall perimeter fence around your property will minimise the risk of your dog running out into traffic or roaming far from home.

Home for the holidays

• Tinsel and icicles, Christmas tree lights and glass ornaments will be sure to tempt your pet's curiosity - but all could be lethal if chewed or swallowed.
• Poinsettia, holly and mistletoe are poisonous to your pets.
