For many pet owners, it's always uncomfortable to leave your dog alone at home when you're out and about. This is especially true when considering all sorts of small items in small corners, drawers, or cabinets in your home. The dog's activity and curiosity at home often make them explore all kinds of corners, sometimes with unexpected dangers. This article will reveal five items that should never be placed on the floor when your dog is watching the house to ensure your dog's safety.
1. Medicines
First of all, we need to pay special attention to the medicines in the home. Many people will keep some common medicines at home, but these can be dangerous for dogs. Many drugs have a strong *** for dogs, once ingested, it can cause diarrhea and vomiting, and may cause cramps and even life-threatening. To avoid such tragedies, we should keep medicines out of the reach of dogs, such as overhead or locked storage boxes.
2. Small objects and toys
Small objects or toy parts are also very attractive to dogs. Dogs may swallow these small objects out of curiosity or by mistake, causing intestinal obstruction or internal bleeding. This risk is especially greater when the dog is in its juvenile or old age. Therefore, we should always make sure that there are no of these small toys or parts on the floor to avoid accidents.
3. Wires
Wires are another potential source of danger. A dog's curiosity often drives them to bite, and wires can cause electric shock or fire. While the probability of this happening may not be high, the consequences can be catastrophic. Therefore, to ensure safety, we should store the wires properly or place them out of the reach of dogs.
4. Poisonous plants
Many families place foliage plants in their homes to decorate or purify the air. However, some of these plants are toxic to dogs. For example, plants such as ivy, pothos, lilies, poinsettias, aloe vera, and dracaena can all cause harm to dogs. Once a dog accidentally ingests these plants, it may experience symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, and may even lead to more serious health problems. Therefore, to ensure the safety of dogs, we should avoid placing these poisonous plants in our homes or leaving them out of the reach of dogs.
5. Unlocked trash cans
Trash cans are also a safety hazard. Dogs tend to be particularly interested in what's in the trash, especially those that have a scent. Food bags, human food, etc., can attract dogs to bite and lick, and these items may contain ingredients that are toxic to dogs. In addition, if a dog bites a plastic bag and swallows it, it can cause intestinal obstruction. Therefore, to ensure safety, we should keep the trash can out of the reach of the dog or use a trash can with a lid, and make sure that the trash can is covered in time after use.
Summary:
In our daily lives, it's easy to overlook some seemingly insignificant security risks. However, for the pet dog in the home, these small items can pose a huge risk. In order to ensure the health and safety of dogs, we should always be vigilant and properly store or place the above five items out of the reach of dogs. At the same time, we should also pay attention to other potential safety hazards, such as detergents, pesticides and other toxic substances. Let's work together to create a safe and comfortable living environment for our beloved pets!
