Wherever you go, it’s important to remember a few safety tips for your dog or cat. Consider the following safety tips to keep your pet in tip-top shape:

• Paws In: Most dogs love riding in the car and sticking their furry, friendly faces out of the window. As fun as it may be for them, keeping paws and heads inside the car will help prevent any objects hitting your pup. Also, debris, insects, and even wind can irritate the mucous membrane in dogs' eyes and noses.
• Collar Check: If you have a puppy or kitten, check the collar tightness regularly. These little ones grow quickly, and it’s important to adjust the collar accordingly. Tight collars can eventually grow into your pets’ neck, causing serious pain. Even if your pet is indoors, always have an identification and vaccination tag on the collar for emergency reference.
• Lock It Up: Dogs and cats are curious little creatures that can get into any mess of trouble if the opportunity presents itself. If your cat loves scattering toilet paper everywhere, keep the bathroom doors shut or store the toilet paper in a drawer or cabinet. Securely store toxic substances, like household cleaners and detergents, in places you know your pet cannot reach. Safeguarding your house will keep both you and your pet at ease.
