Protect Your Pet From Dangerous Toys

Various commonly used pet toys could be dangerous for your pet. Make sure your pet does not play with:

String, Yarn & Drapery Cords
These perennial favourites could lead to strangulation, or could cause intestinal blockage if your pet were to swallow any of them.

Tinfoil, Corks & Cellophane Wrap
Although pets love to play with these toys, if left un- attended, they may swallow and choke on them. Cellophane wrappers can turn "glassy" in your pet's stomach and cause internal bleeding.

Rubber Bands
These seemingly harmless playthings can be fatal if swallowed.

Christmas Tinsel & Angel Hair
Cats love tinsel and angel hair at Christmas. Unfortunately, if eaten, tinsel may become lodged in their intestines and bowels, while angel hair, which is thinly spun glass, may cause internal bleeding.

JUST ABOUT ANYTHING THAT IS DANGEROUS TO A CHILD IS DANGEROUS TO A PET. LET COMMON SENSE PREVAIL AS YOU MAKE YOUR HOME PET-PROOF.
