Many pet owners sometimes don’t even realize what danger awaits their pets on the streets.

For example, the risk of poisoning is extremely high.

What could this be related to?

Ill-mannered people may throw some food products directly onto the sidewalk or lawn, forgetting about the presence of special bins.

Some products are toxic to dogs. If you don't notice that your dog has eaten what you found, there may be a risk of poisoning.

But this is not the worst reason. There are people who, due to their psychological deviations, deliberately poison dogs. This could be food or a piece of meat that does not arouse suspicion. As a result, the dog may even die.

How to protect your pet from such troubles

Experts note that from an early age, you need to teach the animal not to pick up anything from the floor or on the street. At first, this will seem like a difficult task, since dogs are extremely curious. But in just a few days, the puppy will be able to learn this simple rule.

A dog waiting for its owner near a supermarket is vulnerable to dishonest people. If you don’t want a stranger to have the opportunity to poison your pet, then train your dog to ignore any treats that other people may offer.

Thanks to this, you will be able to protect the life and health of your beloved family member.
