Taking Care to Avoid Animal Toxins in the Home

When you trust a pet sitter to care for your furry friend, you want peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. Our job is to ensure that you came home to a happy pet, not one who needs a trip to the vet. There are a variety of regular household products that you should keep in a safe place if you have a pet who loves to explore. Pets are not always aware of what is harmful to them so you may even decide to eliminate toxins from your home entirely.

Toxic substances for your pet include:

•         Household cleaners
•         Formaldehyde (found in new furnishings, household cleaners)
•         Anti-freeze
•         Items in your garbage
