What about a just a saftey tip board for all pets... Where all can post on safer ways to do things, ect...
EG. Foods not to give your pets, smells that can kill them, etc...

Yeah prob even a better thought! I was only thinking this morning would be to do a general safefty board.
Did we all know that Playdough can be fatal to dogs?!! Because of the extremely high content of salt ,it can kill dogs!!!

Not sure but I remember reading about it somewhere on the internet I think, and I decided to research it a bit further, considering I have kids that love playdough , and a dog !!! Not sure if the same goes for cats, prob does?
Also, Especialy around puppies and kittens at xmas time or anytime really, little kids toys, some can be chewed and get lodged in the throat (just like with kids )and choke them!!!
Some of the things are the same for pets as is with kids.
Small bell dingly things (the noise maker in the bells,hehe) Can choke birds so watch out for that, and anything plastic they can chew off the toys ect. Also rope swings/toys, can become unthreaded and caught around feet and necks ect!!! So keep a good eye on ALL toys!!!

Watch out for an additional hooks or pieces of metal that hang from swings for you birds. As its easy for the bird to get fish hooked on one.
(bit of an obvious one but anyway)
