Night time walks<\/strong><br \/>\nThings To Avoid!<br \/>\nNight time walks can be very popular for dog owners as they can fit in with their busy schedule. As the days get shorter these can become more frequent, sunset might come sooner than you think. It is always wise to have some kind of reflective gear on you and your dog, especially if you come across cars zooming by which can excite dogs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Mushrooms<\/strong><br \/>\nThings To Avoid!<br \/>\nThe humid weather and large amount of leaves create the perfect environment for mushrooms to start shooting up everywhere, and, just like you wouldn\u2019t start plucking and eating these as they come, neither should your dog. Not all mushrooms are dangerous, but these are risks that you just don\u2019t want to take. It is important to stay vigilant when going for hikes in woodsy areas and other places mushrooms might be.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.

Mothballs<\/strong><br \/>\nThings To Avoid!<br \/>\nMothballs are very are more common than you may think.

For the eco friendly out there apple cores you throw the ground to decompose will make your dog sick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Antifreeze<\/strong><br \/>\nThings To Avoid!<br \/>\nIt\u2019s deadly. Five table spoons can kill a medium-sized pup. Dogs will never be aware of this. Whilst your mechanic or friend might be careful keeping this stuff out of harms way it only takes one time for it to be accidentally in paws reach. Never let your dog drink from puddles, especially if you are unaware of the source.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Rodenticide<\/strong><br \/>\nThings To Avoid!<br \/>\nAs temperatures drop various creatures will be drawn to your home, resulting in many people stocking up on traps and poison. It can\u2019t be stated enough how important it is to make sure that your dog is not within easy access of these deterrence or the consequences could be fatal. Always have emergency numbers on hand so you react quickly should this situation arise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.
