Cat Safety tools: what they help with
These tools help keep a cat out of trouble: toxic food and plant checkers, poison symptom guides and safety checklists for the home or yard. Many poisonings happen with everyday items that owners did not know were dangerous. Checking first takes seconds; treating a poisoned cat can take days.
What to know about safety and toxins for cats
The problems seen most often in cats are dental disease, chronic kidney disease in seniors, obesity and urinary tract problems. Over a 12-18 year life, catching these early makes a real difference.
