Your household might be toxic or hazardous to your pet without you even knowing. You’re probably aware that chocolate is bad for dogs and cats shouldn’t chew poinsettia leaves, but do you have the full list of household items that can endanger your pets? Being a pet owner is a big job, and you love these animals like family. You need to baby-proof a house when you have an infant, and you should pet-proof your house when you’ve got pets. Whether you’ve just adopted one or have had pets for years, ensure your home is safe for your animals.

The same is true for cats, though most cats turn their noses up at grapes and chocolate.

Check your air filter, vacuum often, and be sure to give your furry friend a good brushing every so often.
