Indoor temperature and humidity control

Dogs and cats are not good at high temperatures such as summer. If you are away in the environment where the west sun is strong or when you are away in the summer, you need to maintain a moderate room temperature and humidity. At that time, be careful not to hit dogs and cats.
It is also necessary to be able to drink fresh water freely at any time.

Prevention of unexpected accidents

Dogs and cats can cause accidents due to unexpected behavior, such as eating various things, biting houseplants and electrical appliances, or moving objects to drop things on high places. At the same time as regular discipline, it is necessary to pay attention to the indoor environment that does not cause accidents.

Tobacco and chemical substances

Sidestream smoke from cigarettes can adversely affect the health of dogs and cats that live together. Be careful of the harm of passive smoking.

Be careful of chemicals such as deodorants and insecticide, and refrain from using them near dogs and cats.

Also, if you spray it, it will accumulate underneath, so make sure that ventilation. Dogs and cats are also sensitive to things that can cause so-called sick house syndrome, such as wallpaper adhesives. These chemicals can be more stressful than expected for dogs and cats with sharp sense of smell.
