This week is Hazardous Materials Awareness Week in Iowa, and with the goal of promoting safe use and storage of toxic materials in your home; Panora PETS’ Linda Shelley is reminding us that chemicals pose threats to pets as much as they do to humans, “You need to really watch the hazardous materials in your house with your pets, just as much as you do with your children.”
Shelley says pets are often attracted to chemicals with sweet smells such as antifreeze, or lemon bleach, but those can be fatal if swallowed.
