Safety

Companion animals don't realize anti-freeze is poisonous -- they just think it tastes great. Electrical cords often look like fun chew toys. And the kitchen and garage are full of delicious "treats" to get into.

Hazards can be all around your home. Your pet's safety depends on you.

American Humane Association can help.

Use the tips at the right to help spot dangers in your house and take the right precautions. Plus use the tips to make sure your pet is safe during a disaster or emergency. Too often people are forced to evacuate their homes and, in the ensuing panic, forget to bring their pets with them. And many times, people cannot get back to their homes to retrieve their animals, leaving the pets helpless and alone.

Be prepared. Keep your pets safe!
