Keeping Your Dog From Eating Harmful Things
I think I have blogged about this before but I have read a couple of more stories on the internet about labrador retriever owners concerned about their dogs eating things and becoming sick. When I read some of the stories it sounds like it's the dogs fault for getting into things but the way I look at these type of situations it's up to us as owners to make sure our dogs don't have unsafe items to get into. I was looking around my workshop area the other day and noticed I had lots of things laying out like small tools, bearings and boxes of screws and nails. I quickly realized that this was an accident waiting to happen and put them out of harms way.
Make sure the areas your dog has access to is free of items stored at low areas that they can get into. If they can't reach them, they can't get into them. If you think your dog has swallowed something they shouldn't phone your vet right away. It's better to be safe than sorry.
