Canine Safety Developments

As pets, dogs are often an important and beloved member of the family. Therefore, it is important to ensure the safety of products designed for canine use. However, despite the best intentions of manufacturers and pet owners, accidents and injuries can still occur.

One common type of injury associated with canine products is choking. This can occur when a pet ingests a small object or toy that becomes lodged in the throat or digestive tract. Choking can be a serious and life-threatening emergency, and it is important to be aware of the signs and symptoms, such as coughing, gagging, difficulty breathing, or loss of consciousness.

Another common type of injury is cuts or lacerations. These can occur when a pet chews on or plays with a product that has sharp edges or protruding parts. Cuts and lacerations can range in severity, from small superficial wounds to more serious injuries that require medical attention.

Strangulation is another hazard to be aware of when it comes to canine products. This can occur when a pet becomes entangled in a leash, collar, or toy that has a loop or cord-like feature. Strangulation can be a serious and life-threatening emergency, and it is important to carefully supervise pets when using products with loop or cord-like features.
