Keep Your Pets Out of the Garbage

Our trash appears very appealing to our pets. So, it is important that the garbage is secured to prevent our pets from getting into it. Garbage contains toxic bacteria, sharp objects, food scraps and other possible foreign bodies that are not good for pets.

Tips:
• Always secure the garbage and if possible keep it in an area out of reach from pets
• Keep your pet on a harness when walking to steer them away from garbage on the street or in the park
• Train your pet to "Sit" and "Stay" so they can be stopped from eating garbage

If your pets are to get into the garbage, seek veterinary attention as soon as possible.
