In honor of National Dog Day on August 26, Safe Electricity offers these tips for pet-proofing your home.<\/p>\n
Puppies and kittens are cute and curious. But cute won\u2019t help them if they begin to chew on or play with electrical equipment\u2014 doing that can put your pet in serious danger of injury or death and create a shock or fire hazard in the home. Spending a little time pet-proofing your home will help you avoid a pet-related accident.<\/p>\n
If you think your pet may have suffered an electrical shock, approach it with caution to keep from being injured by the same electrical danger, and to keep from being bitten. Inspect the animal for injuries and take your pet to an animal care center as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
Speaking of dogs, Holly and Olive invite you to submit a picture of your favorite dog by emailing us<\/a> by August 23. Follow us on Facebook for more information on the prize.<\/p>\n
