Plastic Bags + Pets = Danger

 

 

Pets, particularly cats and very small dogs, can get their heads caught inside plastic bags -- even chip bags. The warnings about not leaving children alone with plastic bags should also be followed with dogs. Remember -- your dog has the same judgment as a two year-old child. A Pekingese dog got its head caught inside a potato chip bag while it's owner was not home. The owner returned to find a limp and seemingly lifeless dog, but she was able to save him with quick action and knowledge of canine CPR.
