Pets shouldn’t be left with portable heaters

Portable heaters are a popular way to keep homes snug in the winter but pose a significant fire and injury hazard for pets.

According to The People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals, dogs can suffer burns if they make contact with the hot metal of the heater, and smaller dogs may be injured if the heater is knocked over on top of them.

Furthermore, dogs who gnaw at cables have the potential to be electrocuted or start a fire. If you just can’t bear to part with your portable heater, make sure you never leave your dog alone with it and store it securely away after use to prevent injury.

    Teflon pans are toxic to pet birds.
    Also, you should never feed chocolate, avocado or alcohol to your bird. If you didn’t know this partial list, you should definitely invest in some good books about basic bird care before you get your bird.
