A dog's nose will lead them to trouble. They have great noses but unfortunately their wonderful sense of smell gets them into serious problems. The bottom line for a dog is "if it smells good....eat it". That causes serious problems when what is smelling good is a house plant, chocolate, grapes, rat poison and other harmful products such as human medications. Dogs will sniff through your totes and handbags in a heartbeat to find tasty goodies.
New dog medications are chewable and flavored and smell yummy to encourage dogs to take their medication. This can cause problems when left unattended. A dog will chew through a plastic bottle to eat the contents and cause an overdose.
Antifreeze is another big deal because it is tasty and deadly. There are pet friendly antifreezes on the market and if you have pets - please look into it. Many times a poisoned dog can be saved if they receive treatment within 30-60 minutes post ingestion. Keep this in mind and supervise your dog.
