Household Dangers

In the House

  • Screen windows to guard against falls.
  • Don't let young pets out on balconies, upper porches or high decks.
  • Many house plants, including dieffenbachia, elephant ear, spider plants and more are poisonous if eaten. Remove them or put them out of reach in hanging baskets.
  • Puppies and kittens love to chew when they're teething, so unplug, remove or cover electrical cords.
  • Don't leave a room where a fire is lit or a heater is being used unattended.
  • Plastic bags may be fun to play with, but they can suffocate.
  • Don't leave small, sharp, easily swallowed objects lying around.
