Keep electrical cords away from
puppies and kittens so they don�t chew on them and receive a severe
shock. If you have difficulty getting your pet to stop chewing on the
cord, you can paint it with a bitter-tasting polish or wrap the cord in
a thick plastic sleeve. |
 |
Make sure nightlights and appliances
are completely plugged into wall outlets. Partially exposed prongs are a
hazard for curious children and animals. |
 |
Keep halogen lamps away from play
areas for pets and children. Some halogen bulbs can reach very high
temperatures, and knocked over during play, could easily start a fire. |
 |
Keep appliances near sinks and
bathtubs a safe distance away from the water source. Playful pets can
knock radios, curling irons and other items into the water, creating a
dangerous situation. |
 |
Discourage animals from curling up
behind warm computer equipment. Pets should be kept away from all
electrical connections.
