Tippy & Alfred want you to know about Dog and Cat Poisoning:
How you can Prevent your Pet from being Poisoned.
Did you realize your home may be hazardous to your pet's health? Poisons
lurk in your bathroom, kitchen, garage and shop.
Playful and curious, many pets leap tall counters in a single bound, paw
open cabinets, chew through childproof caps and containers, and have the
judgment of a 2-year-old!
Consider that cats and dogs roam the house unsupervised for hours, and
you'll understand why they are especially at risk of being poisoned...unless
you properly safeguard them.
Put any substances that you'd consider hazardous to a toddler out of your
pet's reach. This includes medications, cleaning products, household and
garden chemicals, insect and rodent killers and automotive products.
Keep pets out of areas where you're working with chemicals, and store those
substances properly. In the few moments while you dash to answer the
telephone, our friends Snowball or Rover could sample the paint remover,
bleach or antifreeze.
A surprisingly small amount of these substances can harm your pet. For
instance, one teaspoon of undiluted antifreeze/ coolant can kill a 7 pound
cat! Be careful also of any new items you bring home. Pets, like children, are
curious. They tend to investigate when they're alone and bored.

Our pets live close to the ground, closer to pollutants that emanate from
synthetic carpets, or to cleaning solvents used on the floor, or to the
herbicides and pesticides sprayed in the yard.
