Making Your Home Safe for Your Pets

Most homes with children know to keep hazardous chemicals, cleaners, and medication out of the reach of children, but these precautions should also be taken in homes with pets. There are many household items that can be dangerous for pets if ingested. These are a few of the things to look for in your home.

- Lawn and garden pesticides
- Flea and tick products
- Insecticidal aerosols
- Shampoos
- Cleaning products
- Rat and mouse poison
- Tobacco products
- Aspirin and other pain relievers
- Garbage

How do you properly protect your pets from these hazards? Do not leave containers with these types of items where your curious pet can find them. Any spills should be cleaned up as soon as possible, including the outside of the container. Lids should be tightly closed and stored out of reach. Garbage cans should be covered tightly and secured to prevent tipping.

If you have sprayed your lawn with chemicals, do not let your pet on the grass until the recommended drying period has passed. If your pet does come in contact with the chemicals, wash his or her feet with mild soap and water. 

Pets should also not be allowed in vegetable or flower gardens or in compost piles. Some plants are toxic to animals if nibbled on. Compost piles can contain bacterial toxins that are harmful to animals. 

Rat and mouse poison can be harmful or even deadly if a cat ingests the dying or dead rodent. Take care when using these types of poisons to ensure that your cat does not consume a poisoned rat or mouse.

Choosing a Great Pet Bed

Most pets enjoy having their own bed. If you are deciding on a bed for your dog or cat, be sure to choose one that will provide warmth, support and a sense of security. What makes a pet bed great? Keep these tips in mind when shopping.

- A good pet bed should be made of durable and washable material. Natural fibers are best and the fabric should not be treated with chemicals such as flame-retardants or stain-protectors. 

- The bed should have a non-skid bottom to help keep it in place.

- Get a bed that will comfortably fit your pet even when he or she is stretching. But if you have a dog or cat that only sleeps curled up, you may need to get a smaller bed to provide a cozier feel.

- There are a variety of beds for special needs: hypoallergenic materials for allergic pets, orthopedic beds for animals with arthritis, and waterproof beds for pets with incontinence problems.

Choosing the Right Pet

Getting a pet can be a big decision. Knowing which type or breed to get is important for the long term happiness of you, your family, and your pet. Before you decide on a pet, take time to research the type of animal that will best fit in to your home environment. If you decide on a puppy, be sure to understand how large your dog will be when fully grown. Research the animal’s temperament and proclivities to ensure a good fit with your home situation. 

It is also a good idea to take into account your budget. Larger animals tend to cost more in food and care. They may also require more of your time. Consider time needed for exercise, grooming, and other care. By taking a little time before you invest yourself in a new pet, you will be sure of making the proper choice for you and your animal.

Keeping Your Pet Healthy and Active

A full and healthy life for your pet includes lots of good exercise. Idle pets can encounter health problems and can have behavioral problems. To prevent this, your pet needs both mental and physical workouts. Try these ideas out to increase your pet’s health and happiness. • A healthy adult dog needs at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise twice a day. Go for a walk or a run with your pet or visit a dog park for some off-leash fun. As an added benefit, you’ll be getting exercise too. • Encourage your pet to get a good work-out by playing fun, energetic games. Play fetch or tug-of-war with your dog. Your cat can be encouraged to move with engaging cat toys. • When you are away from home, be sure to leave some active toys along with some chew toys that your pet likes. • Your pet’s mind can be exercised by teaching him or her new tricks. Dogs love to learn and benefit from lots of repetition. Cats surprisingly can also be taught some skills like coming when called, sitting up, and rolling over.
