Protect Your Labradoodle
Does your dog have a nose for danger? Keep him out of ham's way.
To keep your Labradoodle safe, remember these 12 canine ares of concern.
1. Ignorance is risk. Every dog needs to learn basic commands, such as "sit," "stay," and "Come," to stay out
of trouble. An uncontrolled dog may run into traffic, wander away, or be injured.
2. Dog-gone blues. A flat, bucked collar and ID tags are everyday essentials. Don't let your dog leave home
without them. If you're feeling rushed and think your pup can go a day without them, think again. Your dog might
sense your distraction and choose that moment to break loose and run off.
3. Lethal leaves. To be on the safe side, keep your dog away from all plants. Dogs commonly react to
poisonous plants with sever stomach pain, but the outcome could even be fatal. Ask your vet or local agricultural
extension service for a list of poisonous local plants and risky houseplants.
4. Coolant catastrophe. Dogs love the sweet taste of toxic antifreeze. Store antifreeze in a locked cabinet
or high above Rover's reach, and clean up garage or driveway leaks immediately. Dispose of spilled antifreeze or empty
containers in a securely lidded container.
5. Hot dog danger. Never leave a dog in a parked car in warm weather, even with a partially open window.
In a matter of minutes, your car may become so hot that your dog suffers heatstroke or brain damage. He could even
die.
6. Chocolate chow. It's a treat for you, a disaster for a dog. Although a little chocolate won't kill your dog,
too much can cause pancreatic problems, distress, hyperactivity, and seizures. Sometimes these reactions are fatal.
Stash chocolate and other sweets where your dog can't grab them.
7. Cleanup hazards. Keep your pooch out of the cleaner cupboard and laundry room. Contact with
household chemicals causes gastric upset, severe internal burns, or worse. Store all cleaning products in tightly sealed
containers, in locked cabinets, or on high shelves.
8. Bad chemistry. If your lawn is chemically treated, wait until it's completely dry before letting your dog
venture back into the yard. Chemicals on recently treated lawns adhere to dog's feet, and they may become ill from
licking the residue, fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides can be toxic. If your dog spends a lot of time on the grass,
you may want to opt for organic lawn care.
9. People pills. Prevent accidental doggie overdoses by keeping medicines in a safely closed cupboard.
Don't treat your dog with medicines you use. Human drugs, such as asprin, can poison a dog.
10. Shocking behavior. A dog who chew on electrical cords can cause a fire or be electrocuted. If your dog is
a curious chewer, tack or tape down the electrical cords in your house to make them harder to chew.
11. No cooked bones. Bones are necessary for a healthy dog's diet. Cooked bones however; are very
dangerous. Cooked bones may splinter injuring the mouth, throat, stomach, and digestive tract.
12. Chewing tobacco. Dogs and cigarettes, cigars, and chew do not mix. Canines may develop nicotine
poisoning from ingesting tobacco products. If you entertain smokers in your home, ask them to place butts in ashtrays
out of your dog's reach.
