Please spread the word about this. Share these posts. This is not my dog. This is how fast it can happen. So sad.

This family is crushed after losing their beautiful Labrador named Pebble in late July when she suffocated in a pet food bag. Sarah Fraser-Walters writes, "We lost our Lab on Tuesday, July 23rd at 20 months old and every dog owner I know says the same thing, "Oh, I never would have thought of that." I let my 20 month old pup outside at 8:33 and went back inside to manage my toddler. At 8:40, I checked back in with my dogs and my Labrador was nowhere to be seen. I ended up driving around town and calling her name but still a little unsure because she wouldn't run away especially without her companion. We live on a highway so I was already panicked at this stage.

After driving, I still couldn't find her so I did another lap of the yard before checking our security cameras. I noticed at 8:35 she had her head in a dog food bag and was walking around what appeared to be happily and she put herself in a corner beside a woodpile and chicken coop and crawled even further in the bag. I had realized at this point where she was and ran down to find only her bottom and tail poking out - I had stood only meters from her calling her at 8:40 and didn't even see her as it looked from my perspective as a full bag of dog food and she didn't respond at all to my calling her.

I gave her CPR desperately but it was far too late. My husband is beating himself up for leaving the food open this once and I am doing the same to myself for not seeing her. We are so shocked that the bags don't have a suffocation warning (although to be honest it may not have changed this outcome.) We use them as garbage bags for nappies and also to suppress grass in our garden beds."

As you can see, it only takes minutes to lose a dog to pet suffocation. We would love to see suffocation warnings on all food bags and pet food bags, too. Please sign our online petition (link below) to Frito Lay to add warning labels to their chip bags. Please share in honor of sweet Pebble, gone too soon.

Today is National Pet Fire Safety Day! We’re here to remind you to prevent house fires and keep your pets safe! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Did you know that over 500,000 pets are affected by house fires each year? And, about 40,000 pets die in house fires annually. Over 1,000 house fires a year are started by pets themselves, according to the National Fire Protection Association.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What can you do to help keep your pets safe from a fire hazard?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✔️ Avoid open flames. Blow out candles and block off access to the kitchen if your pets can reach your stove.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✔️ Keep all wires out of chewing distance - especially from kittens and puppies!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✔️ Have a pet rescue plan in place. Talk to your family about who is in charge of your pet in case of a fire and be sure to practice fire drills!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✔️ Keep your pets confined to a space near an entry/exit point when you’re out with their leashes nearby. This will help their chances of them being rescued. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✔️Notify rescuers of your pets and their favorite hiding places. Also, make sure your pets have collars with tags in case they escape on their own.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✔️Use monitored smoke detectors and check batteries regularly. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
With careful planning and consideration, you can ensure your pets are safe no matter the emergency.

This is not my dog. I’m posting to spread awareness, in hopes you’ll also share to educate others.

This family is still grieving after their Vizsla Mix pup suffocated in a pet food bag on June 16th. Jennifer Mock writes, "We just lost our baby on Father's Day from suffocation in a Koi food bag. I had no idea this was even a hazard for him and I am devastated I wasn't educated about it. This could have been prevented. I found him with the bag still on his face. 😭😭😭

We rescued Lazarus when he was 7 weeks old from abusive owners in our neighborhood. He was the most loving, affectionate and loyal dog we have ever had. I had no idea something like this would ever happen. I was never educated in it and I have such regret that I didn't know. I have had pets my whole life and never once heard anyone else having experienced this.

Lazarus was only 3 years old. He was in the back yard like usual. We went out to lunch for Father's Day and came home to find him in the back yard with a bag of Koi food stuck on his face. It was devastating... our hearts are so broken. I appreciate everything you do! After I lost him is when I found your site."

So many people still don't know about pet suffocation and what you can do to prevent it. Spreading awareness is our best defense against pet suffocation. Follow us to learn more on how you can keep your pets safe from suffocation. Thank you.
