Household Dangers

In the Kitchen, laundry room & bathroom

  • Never leave ovens or irons on unattended.
  • Dangerous household chemicals such as bleach and ammonia should be stored out of your pet's reach.
  • Close washer and dryer doors - your pet might climb in and become trapped.
  • Keep toilet lids down - small pets can actually drown, if they fall in.
  • Medicines, shampoo, suntan lotions and other personal care items can kill your pet. Make sure they can't get hold of them.
