Hidden Dangers for your Dog

Among the most common problems are injuries following road accidents or dog-fights, and illnesses resulting from swallowing objects, medicines or household chemicals.

If you think your dog has eaten something dangerous, contact the vet immediately (phone the emergency number if necessary). Keep any packaging so that you can tell the vet exactly what the substance is. Do not try to make your dog sick without asking the vet. If your dog is staggering or fitting, clear away obstacles so he cannot hurt itself, and make the room dark and quiet.

Regarding this kind of accidents, prevention is the best way to fight them. If you know that a potentially dangerous substance is at reach from your dog, please remove it and put it in a safe place.

This also will be a compulsory practice if you have kids, but if you don't, think as if you had them, regarding danger prevention.
