X-14 The Bathroom Expert

Pets are just as at-risk for injury in the bathroom as us humans. Here are a few ways to help increase bathroom safety for our four-legged friends:

• Close the toilet lid to keep them from drinking unsanitary water.

• Block any small spaces or holes inside cabinetry.

• Remove temptations such as food or candy wrappers from the garbage can.

• Keep hand soaps, toothpaste, medications and cleaners behind closed doors, preferably with a lock or childproof latch. After all, do you really want your pets getting into your personal hygiene products?
