Garden and Yard Safety for Your Dog
April 8, 2021
Gardens and yards are wonderful places to relax with your family, including your dog. But is your yard safety-proofed for your dog? Although it’s not possible to rid your yard of every potential danger, there are a few simple steps that you can take that can help improve your yard’s safety for your dog.
Basic Safety
- Don’t leave garden tools out. Dogs can bite, or step on, rakes, hoes and trowels and other garden tools and hurt themselves. They can also get tetanus (lock jaw) from dirty scrapes.
- Secure garbage bins and composts. Teach your puppy or dog to relieve him/herself in a spot away from this space and clean up after him regularly.
- Puppies are curious and love to explore, so they should always be supervised when outside and corrected in behaviors you do not want to encourage (such as eating plants, digging in the garden).
- Clear mushrooms from the yard and grass as most wild mushrooms are highly toxic to dogs.
- Secure pesticides and chemicals away from their reach and use sparingly (see details below).
Reduce dangers at a dog’s eye level
Examine your yard from a dog’s point of view to remove or fix things that could hurt them accidentally.
- Slowly walk around your yard looking for sharp rocks, uneven stone work, pit holes and other obstacles that could hurt your dogs feet or trip them up.
- Sit on the ground and look around for hazards such as protruding nails sticking out of decks, fences
- Trim pointy branches or thorny bushes that can damage a dog’s eyes or cause injury to their noses, or mouths.
Dog Kisses Rescuer After Being Trapped for 5 Days Beneath Collapsed Building In Venezuela
Reshareworthy
July 1, 2026
For five long days, a small dog lay trapped beneath the wreckage of a collapsed building after Venezuela’s devastating twin earthquakes.
Hidden deep inside the rubble in Caraballeda, she had no way out. Then rescuers heard something that stopped them in their tracks. A bark.
Emergency crews from El Salvador immediately began searching through the twisted concrete, refusing to give up on the little survivor. For five painstaking hours, they dug through the debris, following the faint sound until they finally reached the frightened dog.
The moment she emerged from the darkness, exhausted but alive, the crowd erupted in applause.
The little dog, named Giselle, wasted no time showing her gratitude. As soon as she was safely in her rescuer’s arms, she began showering his face with grateful kisses—a touching moment captured on video that has since moved people around the world.
Rescuers wrapped Giselle in a blanket and gently fed the hungry pup with a syringe before giving her a thorough medical check. Despite spending five days trapped beneath the rubble, they reported that she was in good health.
Sharing the rescue, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele wrote:
“After 5 hours, we managed to rescue this little dog who responds to the name Giselle. If anyone is her owner, they can approach our teams in the area and prove with photos or videos that she is theirs.”
As rescue teams continue searching through the devastation for survivors, Giselle’s rescue has become one of the many small miracles to emerge from the tragedy—a reminder that every life matters, and that hope can still be found beneath the rubble.
Tips for Keeping Dogs Safe During Fireworks Celebrations
July 3, 2019
More pets go missing during holidays with fireworks than any other time. In the United States alone, July 5th is the busiest day of the year for animal shelters taking in lost pets. The second busiest is Halloween, when firecrackers and fireworks are lit
Many dogs that would otherwise be calm run away from home because of the noise and lights of fireworks celebrations. Whether it’s Independence Day, Halloween or a neighborhood celebration, nights filled with fire crackers and fireworks that can frighten pets. Some dogs react to fireworks much like they would react to a thunderstorm and will panic and act irrationally.
With that in mind, here are some tips for keeping dogs calm and safe during celebrations:
- If you are going out to a live fireworks display, strongly consider leaving your dog at home. The crowds, commotion and loud sounds can be stressful to even the most well-behaved dogs. And, in stressful situations, some dogs may even bite. But if you do bring your dog along:
- Keep dogs cool. If you do decide to bring your dog with you to a celebration, never leave him/her in the car and monitor your dog for heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
