Lawn and Garden Safety Tips

Does your pet often get into things she shouldn’t? Pets left unattended in yards may often start trouble, whether by digging holes, rolling in nasty things, or chewing on things that don’t belong to them. It’s important to interact with your pet regularly to avoid the development of this kind of destructive, and potentially dangerous behavior. There are many hazards in the yard that many pet owners aren’t even aware of, from harmful fertilizer chemicals to puddles containing disease. Be kind to your pet, and give them something to do with you!

Camping with Your Dog

A family camping trip wouldn’t be complete without the dog, but make sure that you follow all safety precautions for bringing pets with you to a campground. First, check to make sure that your campground of choice allows dogs. Many do not because of the threat of large wild animals, such as bears. Then, be sure to pack plenty of dog food and water from the same provisions that your family will use—if you’re filtering water, don’t forget to bring a bowl for your dog, as drinking directly from natural sources is extremely dangerous. Once you take these precautions, don’t forget to have some fun!
