Protect your pets from possible winter hazards

Definitely, these are important things to be careful of, especially in the winter. Antifreeze is maybe the worst. Apparently, it tastes good, is why the animals lick it, and then it trashes their kidneys, and they die a horrible death. it is best to put them to sleep if the vet says they got antifreeze, since there is no chance of saving them anyway.
There are many plants that are poisonous to animals, and some of the ones are things like daffodils, that have bulbs, so if they are laying around, or you plant them and your dog "helps you" by coming along and digging them up again, they can chew on the bulb and poison their self. A good idea if you have a lot of plants is to look online and see which ones are safe around pets.
Puppies are especially at risk for this, since they like to both dig and chew; so if you have a new puppy that is being allowed to play in the yard, be sure there are no dangerous plants for him to dig up and chew.
