Dogs are naturally affectionate, loyal and well, lovable. And most of all, they are really big balls of energy- especially puppies. And although seeing your dogs running around and wagging their tails is very nice to take a look at, this could also harm them.
There are numerous perilous things within your own place that may harm your dogs. You do not have to be a scientist or a mental math whiz to work out just how critical it is to be certain that your home is doggy-proofed.
Now, to help with that, I have listed down some household products that are very deadly to puppies and dogs. I have compiled a catalogue of 10 things you'll find at home that can harm your puppies. These things may also be found in Cesar Millan's website.
People food
Just because we are able to eat it doesn't mean our food is safe for our canine companions. Chocolate contains big amounts of caffeine and theobromine which dogs don't endure well.
Rodenticides
Mouse and rat baits are designed to be appetizing to rodents to encourage ingestion, but unfortunately, for the same reason many dogs find these baits appealing too.
Insecticides
The commonest pesticide that dogs tend to eat is the ant or roach baits. They contain an attractant like peanut butter or bread which most dogs find appealing.
Human pharmaceuticals
This class includes prescription medications and over the counter drugs intended for humans. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen are noxious and shouldn't ever be given to your dog.
Vet pharmaceuticals
Some tablets that veterinarians prescribe for dogs are flavoured to make them tastier and apparently some taste so good that dogs think they are treats.
Plants
This is more of an issue with moggies but I have seen puppies that chewed on plants and often adult dogs will gnaw on plants when their stomach is troubling them.
Fertilizer
A different reason to keep your dog out of the garden is manure which frequently smells like food to dogs.
Cleaning products
Many of those products are just as toxic for our dogs as they are to us. Store all cleaning products away when not in use and think about employing natural, organic cleaning solutions as an alternative.
Heavy metals
Zinc and lead are the commonest perpetrators. The most common cause of zinc toxicosis is ingestion of pennies. Cents minted since 1983 are essentially zinc and some dogs love to consume coins.
Varied chemicals
Antifreeze is terribly sweet and attractive to dogs. They appear drunk after ingesting even small amounts.
Bottom line is, you need to make certain that your lovable dog babies will be safe 24/7- so create that environment for them.
