That old expression "I have to watch you like a hawk" is never more true than when we're talking about our furry friends.  They will eat just about anything.

Wanted Alive! – Please Keep Me Safe!

Dogs especially, some just have a natural tendency to gnaw but sometimes they chew out of boredom.  Properly exercising your dog with vigorous play time will help in more ways than one.  They will be tired and ready to relax when they are indoors, but they will also be more happy and content and not look for the "bad" ways to relieve stress.

Cats aren't quite as bad as dogs but they have their moments too, we know how they love to eat the house plants!  Curly ribbons on packages and tinsel  on trees are just begging to be played with.  Unfortunately once they start to eat it they can't stop until the end of the ribbon.  It's one long string that they do not bite in two and then swallow so they ingest several inches or sometimes even feet of this hazardous material.

Top Ten Items Surgically Removed from our pets; It may be hard to believe but true:

1. Socks

2. Underwear

3. Pantyhose

4.  Rocks

5.  Balls

6.  Chew Toys

7.  Corn Cobs

8.  Bones

9.  Hair Ties / Ribbons

10.  Sticks

Knowing our pets habits  and moods can help keep them safe and out of harms way. It's up to us to keep our house and yard pet-proof.  Keeping them safe will also insure that you will not have to deal with the grief of a Pet Loss.  If you notice your pet becoming sluggish or have a decrease in appetite, it may be time to call your vet.  It's always better to be safe that sorry!♥
